News from the Sun
First up, a bikini from Solestrom that has a UV meter in its belt. It will tell you on a scale of 0 to 20 how much you are getting sautéed.
And also, the FDA finally approved a sunscreen ingredient that has been in use around the world for many years now. Mexoryl SX is different from sunscreens currently being sold in the US in that it blocks all forms of UV radiation. Up til now, the only UV rays that were successfully blocked were both types of UVB and long-wave UVA. Short-wave UVA is not blocked in these, and many doctors consider this form to be the most harmful of all the UVA due to its high penetration into skin.
