It’s July and the sun is shining: time to get out of your office chair and get into that beach chair. Before you do, though, consumer watchdog Environmental Working Group (EWG) wants to make sure you think twice about what sunscreen you are slathering on. The EWG released its ninth annual sunscreen guide that details how many popular and so-called “highly recommended” brands are not only a waste of money, but potentially harmful to your skin.
