Read full article: For sun protection, skip the DIY formulas, study says

That often means lots of sunscreen for many of us, but its best to avoid do-it-yourself varieties, according to a recent study. Cleveland Clinics Dr. Melissa Piliang, did not take part in the research, but said homemade sunscreen recipes can actually be a recipe for sunburn. What the study found, was that most of the online recipes contained things like coconut oil, and essential oils -- things that really have no sun-protective value, she said. Researchers found 95% of the social media posts made claims of the effectiveness of the sunscreens, and 68% recommended recipes with insufficient UV radiation protection. But if youre worried about applying, and re-applying a lot of sunscreen to your body, there are other ways to protect yourself.

Consumer Reports unveils top sunscreens for 2020

Read full article: Consumer Reports unveils top sunscreens for 2020

Consumer Reports just finished testing them, and the results show you dont have to spend a lot of money to get a lot of UV protection. Two top performers are also CR Best Buys: Trader Joes Spray SPF 50+ and Coppertone Ultra Guard Lotion SPF 70. Its important to note that all of CRs top-rated sunscreens contain an ingredient called oxybenzone, which is a very effective UV filter. Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance Lotion SPF 50 and Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration Weightless Lotion SPF 30 were the highest-scoring oxybenzone-free sunscreens in CR's tests. Consumer Reports also recommends that parents choose lotion sunscreens for kids and use sprays only as a last resort, because kids may inhale the spray, which could cause lung irritation.
