HEALTH TIP

Sunscreen shopping tips

When you're shopping for sunscreen, the brand matters less than how you use the product. Look for water-resistant, broad-spectrum coverage with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Check the sunscreen's expiration date. Also, find a sunscreen you like. If you don't care for the sunscreen, you're not as likely to use it consistently.
