Sunburn

I agree that you could try to cover-up more.

And try Dermatone. It's relatively easy to find in Canada, and works really well. (It's also a physical block.) (Actually I think it's the same as Z-cote.

There is a brand new sunscreen comparision/rating website just up today!
Check out how it rates the different sunscreens. Lots of good info:

Here is a related article about the new website and how it came about:

I find it really shocking that the FDA does nothing to evaluate or regulate sunscreens, what with so many people getting skin cancer now.

Some of the varieties of Dermatone in the U.S. have chemical screens in them too, so read the ingredients carefully.

Awesome link! Fascinating that one of the sunscreens I tossed and claimed "just didn't do anything", they also say "just doesn't do anything". Hmmm....

Besides listing pros/cons, truths/lies, the general information on that site seems quite good. What a great resource! But as you say...isn't it a shame that the FDA doesn't regulate this? Sigh...


Thanks Lisa!
(well, except that I got lost on that site for too many hours....from work )
