Meet The Minerals { Sunscreens}

 I really love a good tan, and I am feeling quite "pale" at the moment. It's time to get out the self tanner.  In the meantime, while enjoying the warmth of the sun, I do use mineral sunscreen. Once I learned of the harmful toxins in chemical sunscreens, they will never touch my skin again. When you know better, you do better.  Here are 11 products that will keep you safe and looking healthy.
