As we move slowly but steadily into the brighter skies of spring and summer, I wonder just what the effects are of removing the sun from our kids’ lives – with all that slip, slap, slopping of sunscreen, now up to SPF 80+ in NZ (although due to the lobbying of the Cancer Foundation, I believe we are for the present at least, still limited to 30+ here in Australia).

Seems like I’m not alone.. http://www.journallive.co.uk/lifestyle-news/fashion-news-tips/2010/08/25/children-need-time-in-the-sun-61634-27129756/?zbrandid=2039&zidType=CH&zid=1124277&zsubscriberId=501300580&zbdom=http://aracy.informz.net

And just how effective are sunscreen ingredients in any case? Maybe it’s time to revisit the science, starting with Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen
