Burn Baby Burn...or Not!

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime.

If you've met me, then you know I closely resemble Disney's Snow White. A "tan" by my standards is watching my freckles appear following an afternoon at the beach. Love freckles, I think they're so sexy! Sunburn, not so much!


There was that summer that I went to Fire Island with my older sister for a little R&R. I bathed myself in sunscreen - 90 SPF at that. I reapplied and reapplied, but I must have missed a few spots because when I got home, it looked like I had hideous red handprints schmeared across my legs. The burn quickly turned to sun poisoning and lets just say it wasn't pretty! It was actually Freddie Kruger gross!


Wherever you're heading to the beach or the blow up swimming pool on your rooftop this Fourth of July weekend, make sure to load up on the sunscreen! Here are a few of my dermatologist-recommended favs!
