That article...we've skimped on sunscreen for budget reasons; covered up instead. It's the first time I've seen someone come out and say how expensive this stuff is. I started making my own in great tubs so I wouldn't have anxiety about the cost of it & would actually use it in the quantity prescribed.

One kid breaks out in welts from her Natio sunscreen among other things. Once we didn't have any so stopped by the chemist for hypoallergenic sunscreen that she wouldn't react to. $26 for a tiny tube...about 5 years ago. Who's for fish and ch...oops, I mean sunscreen.

Anyone with a history of skin cancer or allergies to the standard sunscreen should start asking for a disability allowance over summer.
