I let my daughter outside without sunscreen for short periods of time. I worry more about sunscreen then about sun exposure. I do use it if we are outside an extended period of time.

I read the studies about an increase in skin cancer in people in there 20s and I have to think there's more of a connection to sunscreen then sun exposure.

Dropping off my daughter at school I always smelled sunscreen on some of the kids. People go overboard. Who needs sunscreen for 5 minutes before school, the 10 minute recess and the 20 minute lunch (when the sunscreen probably wasn't working anymore anyway). Little kids shouldn't be so exposed to so many chemicals.
