The rest of the time I enjoy the sun and get a nice tan- but being blond and blueeyed I don´t want to burn... IF I have to go out sailing I use a a natural sun screen product like Green peoples- but in every day I don´t use a sunscreen. My daughter is the same - no sunbathing in high summer at midday- the rest of the time enjoy sun- but don´t burn. Sun is great - but there is no reason to get a severe sunburn:

"Recent studies found that some sunscreens generate harmful compounds that promote skin cancer. The three commonly used ultraviolet (UV) filters -- octylmethoxycinnamate, benzophenone 3 and octocrylene -- eventually soak into the deeper layers of the skin after their application, leaving the top skin layers vulnerable to sun damage. UV rays absorbed by the skin can generate harmful compounds called reactive oxygen species (ROS), which can cause skin cancer and premature aging. The researchers found that once the filters in sunscreen soak into the lower layers of skin, the filters react with UV light to create more damaging ROS.[3] To reduce ROS generation and damage, the researchers recommend reapplying the sunscreen often, which will replenish the sunscreen which has penetrated the skin. Future possibilities may include the development of sunscreens which stay at the surface of the skin, or mixing sunscreens with antioxidants that can neutralize ROS.[13] A significant reduction in sun exposure inhibits the production of vitamin D. The use of sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 8 inhibits more than 95% of vitamin D production in the skin." According to this article…

I only use a non toxic, natural, SPF 18 sunscreen because I heard anything over that is more toxic than helpful. Am I right in doing so?

I love all the articles on this site! I feel like common sense knowledge is finally getting credit. All these things that intuitively I have always thought to be okay are turning out to be just so! Like Sun, and raw milk and eggs, and well... the list goes on. Thank you for another enlightening article! I think I’ll take my son out and play in the sprinkler after reading this!!!
