Don’t use spray-on sunscreen this summer
As summer approaches, please refrain from using the spray-on sun protection method that spreads chemicals across the beaches and pool areas and into the mouths and noses of anyone sitting nearby.
I know it seems the way to go to get the stuff onto your children quickly, but half of the spray doesn’t even get onto their bodies. The other half travels into and onto everyone else. So please, use the lotion, not the spray, and save everyone from ingesting the toxic chemicals from spray-ons.
