The 3 things you need to know about sunglasses and UV protection: Fancy brands vs. Cheapos
By Jennifer Romolini, Shine staff, on Fri Jun 13, 2008 9:57am PDTThere's an informative story over on the Beauty Brains blog today that addresses sunglasses and whether or not you need to shell out big money for a designer pair in order to really protect your eyes. The answer? Actually no.

According to a new study, only a piddly 47 percent of beachgoers uses UV lip protection, compared with the 78 percent who used UV skin protection. (I'm completely baffled by that 22 percent who aren't protecting at all, but we'll address this crowd another day.) Read More »
