Surprisingly, I'm tanning this year, though I'm also still burning a bit. I was wondering what could have been the change. :)<br /><br />New follower from Tuesday Tag Along!

I can't remember exactly, but I think they ate a ton of sweet potatoes (or some other bright orange vegetable) sometime before heading out and didn't need any sunscreen!

I have 6 kids and can't remember the last time we used it. Better to put on a cotton t-shirt if necessary.

Thanks for writing about this...Absolutely spot on!! Thanks for writing about this. I hate it that the sun has become an evil thing to be avoided at all costs. Everyone has forgotten that the sun has unbelievable healing properties.<br /><br />In fact, I have been reading recently, articles that suggest skin cancer is NOT caused by the sun, but rather by the foods we eat, and the chemicals in our sun screen. How else do you explain the fact that office workers are more likely to get skin cancer than outside labourers? Or the fact that our ancestors were rarely, if ever, troubled by skin cancer, yet spent far more time in the sun than we do today...but we have a skin cancer rate of 1 in 3 (here in Oz at least).<br /><br />Good work.

Throughout my entire pregnancy I have craved raw leafy greens and fruits especially watermelon and cantaloupe. I have eaten more cantaloupe and watermelon in the last 8 months than I have eaten in a lifetime. I noticed that my complexion has darkened and I don't burn near as easily when I've been lounging in the pool all day. I thought this change in my complexion was due to hormonal changes caused by pregnancy, but now I'm convinced it’s due to the antioxidant rich foods I’ve been eating! <br /><br />This is AWESOME information and I will definitely be keeping this in mind for the months leading up to summertime with my little one. Poor baby, I’m afraid she’s going to be pasty-pale just like her Momma and Daddy!

We are all very fair-skinned with blonde hair and blue eyes, so I do have to be very careful. I do, however, let my kids play for a little while before applying the sunscreen so we can soak up some Vitamin D. I need to read more about eating foods for protection. I appreciate you sharing your experience!<br /><br />http://www.ewg.org/2010sunscreen/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02621801352117962891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8877461.post-74453951493779353912010-07-27T11:17:57.043-04:002010-07-27T11:17:57.043-04:00I have been wondering about this.

We are white as white, but both married men with darker complexions (my hubby is Polynesian and hers is European) so both our kids have lovely skin.<br /><br />We wondered how you could not use sunscreen and I will definitely be sending her this post, as well as sending it to a few other friends!

I have one very fair-skinned daughter so I would love to know what I could be feeding her more of to keep her skin from burning so quickly.
