What to avoid:
Spray sunscreens – They can be inhaled and don’t cover skin completely. SPF values above 50+ – They try to trick you into believing they’ll prevent sun damage. Don’t trust them. Useful SPF protection tops out at 30 to 50.
Reapply every 3 hours in full sun, every two hours when you are in water and sun.
Oxybenzone – This toxic ingredient can disrupt the hormone system.
Retinyl palmitate – Here’s another ingredient to avoid. It may actually trigger skin damage on sun-exposed skin.
