Why your sunscreen isn’t working
SATURDAY, July 23 (The Washington Post) — Julian Sass is a sunscreen educator to his nearly 20,000 followers on Instagram, and every time he posts a sunscreen review — via a 90-second “reel” — he applies approximately half a teaspoon (2.14 grams) of sunscreen to his face and neck. The most frequent viewer question he gets: “Why are you using so much?”
But, rather than applying “too much” sunscreen, Sass is instead following Food and Drug Administration guidelines for testing sunscreen protection factor (SPF), which means a lot of his sunscreen review followers are probably applying too little. Experts recommend applying the equivalent of a shot glass of sunscreen (approximately an ounce) for the entire body.

Music with a mission
June 19 is my least favorite day of the year. This year, June 19, 2022, marks seven years since my mom passed. [In] previous years, I would spiral into being an anxious and depressed mess, stuck in a loop reliving the day she died. That all changed in 2020 when I decided to do something positive with my grief. I was inspired by Games Done Quick and what they created with their marathon that benefits Prevent Cancer and I thought, how could I do something similar?
