Are you kidding me? I know we've been writing a lot about sunscreen this week (we don't make the news, we just report it), but after getting my hands on the new VMW Hypoallergenics Armada Face Cover 30, I saw something, and well, I just had to say something.

What captured my attention was the fact that this full-spectrum sunscreen is intended for both indoor and outdoor usage. And in a new Journal of Drugs and Dermatology study cited in W magazine, derm Vermen M. Verallo-Rowell says that "indoor light sources like halogen bulbs, fluorescent lights and even that eerie glow from our computer screens can cause hyper-pigmentation and possible skin damage."

Jesus H. Christ!!! Is my blogging job working on a computer all day giving me wrinkles!?

Do you give any credence to this? Will you start wearing sunscreen indoors? Holy moly I'm in shock...

that's bullshit. there are no uv rays emitted from your computer screen, whether plasma or anything else.
they say it's good to keep a plant in the office to absorb the radio waves but sunscreen?... to go on the computer?
that's just another marketing hype to make u buy and use more products.
on the other hand i should be receiving that issue soon so i'll take a look at their clinicals and see what it really means.
