Staying out of the sun is even more effective and it is FREE...

Don't fall for sunscreen propraganda...sunlight is one of the BEST sources for Vitamin D...just make sure to regulate your exposure, and avoid getting burned! Many sunscreens are actually dangerous...the chemicals they contain are absorbed into your body through the skin. Not good.

To: who knows what evil?

That's fine, I don't mind getting sun on most of my body, but not on my face. For evidence I have only to look at my mother-in-law, who is 95. She very, very rarely goes out in the sun and she has unbelievably soft, clear, wrinkle-free skin. Still a beauty in her tenth decade. But close relatives who did expose themselves to the sun have the usual assortment of wrinkles and sags. I noticed the same thing with my mother, who never sunbathed, and her sister, who went out in the sun all the time, even though she wasn't much given to actual sunbathing. My mother was 19 years older than her sister and looked as if she were the same age.

The article points out that it's not the UVB (which sunscreen's protect against), it's the UVA that causes skin to wrinkle and prematurely age. UVA is present sunup to sundown, 365, regardless of climate - even during blizzards. This UVA is what this illegal sunscreen protects against.
