Sun damage much?
By Product Fiend, on Tue Aug 26, 2008 10:25am PDTI went to the beach this
weekend with friends, and when we got there, we realized--horror of
horrors!!!--we forgot the sunscreen. As hard as it can be to enjoy
the glorious surf and sand knowing you're exposing your skin to the
baddest of baddies, we managed to have a good time anyway. Still,
there...

Travel Savvy Mom: God help me, I'm so confused about sunscreen!
By Travel Savvy Mom, on Sun Aug 24, 2008 6:44pm PDT
The summer of 2008 was a big travel summer for my family. Of the 10 weeks of vacation allotted to us by the school district, we were gleefully hitting the road for 5 of them. And we were going to sunny places. A week before our trip, I steeled myself and went sunscreen...

Reader Q: What's a good eye cream with SPF?
By Product Fiend, on Thu Aug 21, 2008 9:51am PDTDear Wendy,
Do you know of a passable under eye cream that has some sort of SPF to it?
Sincerely, Poppy
Lots and lots of companies are starting to realize that hey, sunscreen hurts when you get it in your eyes, so they're adapting their eye creams to have a little protection with less sting. Go them! Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog

More crap news re: sunscreen
By Product Fiend, on Fri Aug 1, 2008 12:03pm PDTLast week we talked about how the Cosmetic Safety Database just issued a huge report claiming that in an investigation of 952 name-brand sunscreens, four out of five offer inadequate sun protection. This gross error, they allege, is directly linked to the fact that the FDA seems to have a rather lackadaisical attitude when it comes to product labeling, especially when it comes to beauty products, which I needn't remind you are the most intimate of household goods because we put them directly on our skin.

Cheap, Chic, and Antiaging: What's Not to Like?
By Emily Hsieh, Shop Girl, Lucky Magazine, on Wed Jul 30, 2008 8:20am PDTDespite being pretty fanatical about sunscreen (I'm obsessed with Colorescience's powder version, which I use daily and might be my favorite beauty product of all time), after reading the umpteenth article about premature aging I've been thinking I ought to find a hat to wear at the beach. My criteria are that it's inexpensive (I'll only use it at the beach or pool, and I don't go nearly as much as I'd like), packable, and doesn't look too dorky or matronly the way sun hats often do.

The best waterproof sunscreen on the market
By The Beauty Department, Lucky Magazine, on Mon Jul 28, 2008 11:50am PDTFirst, our assistant managing editor Faye Chiu wore Coola waterproof sunscreen snorkeling in the Dutch Caribbean—and didn't come back with a lick of color. Then, I brought it with me to St. John, where I was far too distracted getting engaged to remember to reapply. But my very pale skin didn't get a single new freckle. Read More »

Organic Mom: Choose Sunscreen Well, Because It's Better to Be Outside Than In
By Ask an Organic Mom, The Daily Green, on Thu Jul 24, 2008 8:10am PDTIt wasn't blisteringly hot today, but after lunch with some friends the under-seven crew stripped down to play in the tiny plastic pool on our back deck. It's the hard plastic variety, which is supposed to be a little bit better than the flexible, and I've been impressed by its... Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (0) | Blog

So now sunscreen is bad for you!?
By Product Fiend, on Wed Jul 23, 2008 12:49pm PDTThe beauty industry is in a tizzy right now due to a report issued by the Cosmetic Safety Database who claims that in an investigation of 952 name brand sunscreens, four out of five offer inadequate sun protection.
Um, whoops.
Their idea is that since the FDA refuses to regulate cosmetic ingredients, they feel like they needed to take it upon themselves to warn consumers of the risks Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog
