| With warm weather beginning to show up and already there for Skin, it is important to remember to use sun screen regularly outdoors...and remember to check expiration dates and throw out the expired stuff even though it might be tempting to use the old stuff up.....it becomes ineffective and you can get a nasty burn

| Thanks for making that point spirit, I have a few bottles of older sunscreen lurking in the back of my bathroom vanity, it'll be vacating the premises during our monthly bathroom declutter!

| | We are needing to get some new sunscreen...Ash gets the WORST sunburn ever on her face every year! She wrinkles all up like a 100 year old lady....it's awful! I am going to get her a bonnet from Lancaster this year, if my best friend goes shopping there///she will also wear a sun hat. |

| | I need to check the expiration date on my mine,too. I think it's important to use it during winter, also, because the sun can be just as damaging especially with the reflection coming off of snow. |

| Good point Sissy about snow reflection...we use it here all year because of the altitude (Mile High Denver), but it certainly is a good idea anywhere especially with the global climate beginning to do some strange things  My former SIL found out about sunscreen expiring when she used some expired stuff on her fair skinned, red headed son when he was little...poor thing got very burned
