What Sunscreen Is Best For Paddlers?
Is your sunscreen actually protecting you like it promises? Of the 500 beach and sports
sunscreens that EWG* analyzed for their 2010 Sunscreen Guide, they only recommend 8 percent of them.
Between the false sense of security from sunscreens with an SPF of 50 or higher, and new data
linking vitamin A to accelerated development of skin tumors and lesions, most products
don't live up to their hype. In fact, EWG found that wearing a hat and shirt in the sun
should be your first line of defense, then using an EWG recommended sunscreen.
