Even before the FDA sent out its new label requirements to sunscreen manufacturers, we knew it wasn’t safe to bake in the sun. But until next summer, when the new label rules kick in, how will we get our healthy glows? Well, lovie, take it from a pale girl like me — there are a range of products designed to help you get a safe summer glow, none of which will cause wrinkles, premature aging, and (yikes!) skin cancer, like the real deal might. Here are a few of my faves.
