Summertime means longer days, more sun, and more sunburns.
Many of us think the sunscreen we use is protection enough. But as 2 Wants To Know found out… not all sunscreens are created equal…even if they claim they are!
“If you want the best protection you can get, go for high SPF and UV protection,” says Joe Stanfield. Stanfield runs Suncare Lab in Winston-Salem which tests sunscreen for manufacturers.
Each product is tested on 20 people using simulated sunlight…UVB and UVA rays. The lab averages the findings to come up with the SPF. The SPF is what shields you from UVB rays.
“UVB produces sunburn. UVA is not as powerful for sunburn and penetrates deeper.”
According to the CDC, UVA contributes to long term skin damage. And even though your bottle says it protects you from UVA …
“Unfortunately in the U.S. there is no way to tell how much UVA protection a product provides because the FDA has not approved any kind of labeling for UVA.”
Which means the words “UVA Protection” can be on the bottle, even if the protection is just 1%.
To get the most UVA protection available, your suncreen must have both avobenzone and octocrylene.
“That will tell you that you are buying the best UVA protection you can get.”
No matter what kind you use, it won’t be effective if you don’t use enough. The amount Suncare Lab uses on these small testing sites translates to a little more than an ounce in real life.

Even when we think we’re being careful, sometimes we wind up with a painful sunburn. So what are the best sunburn remedies? Dermatologist and author Dr Doris day shares her tips on how to treat a sunburn, including some home remedies for quick sunburn relief.
How to get quick sunburn relief
If you have a fever or chills, you might have sun poisoning. Skip the home remedies and treatments for sunburns and call your doctor or go to the ER right away.
For quick sunburn relief:
* Take an anti-inflammatory right away, like aspirin or ibuprofen. They will reduce redness and swelling.
* Go inside or somewhere cooler, which will help release the heat from your skin.
* Minimize the pain by adding water back to the skin. Products like hydrocortisone, aloe vera gel, or Solarcaine will help cool off the skin and reduce redness.
If you are shopping for sunburn treatment products:
* Aloe vera from a plant works slightly better than gel, but either one will help.
* Look for products that contain hydrocortisone or mentholated ingredients.
* Take a cool or lukewarm bath with a paste of oatmeal, whole milk, honey, and aloe vera gel. Soak for 15 minutes. It will add moisture back into your skin and prevent peeling.
* If you have a fever or chills, you might have sun poisoning. Call your doctor or go to the ER right away.
* Moisturize your skin as much as possible for the first few days (aloe vera from a plant works great but a gel will also work well).
Home remedies for sunburns:
* Take cool or lukewarm showers. Hot/warm water will irritate the burn and delay healing.
* If you have to go back into the sun, wear protective clothing and apply plenty of sunscreen.
