Broad Spectrum Sunscreen - It Is What You Want
Recently I quizzed you all on the differences between UVA and UVB rays, but knowing the difference isn't enough to protect your from the sun's harmful rays. Nope...you need sunscreen and broad spectrum sunscreen at that. When you are buying your first bottle or tube of sunscreen this season, read the label and make sure it says that it protects from both types of rays - that it is Broad Spectrum.

Avon's Anew Advanced All-in-One Cream ($16.50) provides both UVA and UVB protection. Plus, it has antioxidant protection with a SPF of 15. But, with all that it claims to do, does this hydrating product work?
