Sunscreens

[Diane]

Summer is almost here... and to help you protect your skin while you're lounging by the pool or lying on the beach, I've compiled a list of sunscreens with an SPF 15 or higher. And, you'll be happy to know, every sunscreen listed below contains at least one of the crucial broad spectrum sunscreen ingredients: avobenzone, titanium dioxide, and zinc oxide. Most of these products are available at major department stores, discount stores and drugstores (Paula's Choice is available online at paulaschoice.com). Please note that prices may vary from store to store and in different parts of the country.
