Yes, the rains will end and the first day of summer is only a few days away.   I am concerned about sun damage and the seriousness of increasing numbers of skin cancers.  Protect yourself everyday with sunscreen and check out www.ewg.com for a free sunscreen guide. You will also learn to look for sunscreens without Oxybenzone, Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) and added insect repellent.  Look for those which contain zinc, Titanium dioxide and Avobenzone or Mexoryl SX.   Don't buy products that say they have 50 spf and higher--some of these are even more dangerous. There are no regulations on contents of sunscreens. Call  or email me for help in ordering safe sunscreens from Melaleuca.  Diane Dillett, happyskin@dillettcompany.com
