It’s that time of year again when the suns rays beckon us to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather. While most of us are used to applying sunscreen before we play outdoors, you might be surprised to learn that you are using a sunscreen with potentially harmful ingredients. Check out some natural sunscreen options and check out my previous natural sunscreen article to learn reasons why it’s important to go the more natural route.
