The Sunscreen Safety Guide for Summer, Part 1

With better weather comes more sun exposure, which makes this the perfect time to start talking about my top sunscreen safety tips. Believe it or not, sunscreen is not the safest way to protect yourself from harmful sun rays, but is useful as part of your sun safety routine.    In this episode, I'll be covering why chemical sunscreen isn't as safe or effective as other sun protection methods, particularly when it comes to adverse health effects. But as always, I've got you covered (pun intended) with some alternatives to chemical sunscreens, and will share my favorite brands of sunscreen for when you just can't avoid being in the sun.   And just as important as picking the correct sunscreen is applying it properly. So I'll also be sharing the correct ways to apply sunscreen in all types of situations — whether you're at the pool, playing sports, or just going on a quick walk down the street.     This is just part 1 of 2, so stay tuned for even more tips for sun safety, and enjoy this one!  Key Topics: The two types of sunscreen, which is best, and why The best ways to protect yourself from the sun How to apply sunscreen correctly My favorite safer sunscreen recommendations Find a summary, cheat sheet, and more tips from this episode at slightlygreener.com/episode9   For even more information and to jump-start your home detox in as little as 7 days, join our membership here: https://tonyaharris.lpages.co/slightly-greener-living/ Connect with Tonya: Website: https://slightlygreener.com/ Instagram: @slightlygreener Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SlightlyGreener
