It is a commonly-held (and media-fueled) belief in our culture that sun is
bad and sunscreen is good. Not only is this inaccurate, but in fact, the
opposite is true: Our skin is quite literally designed to be exposed to the
sun’s rays, and sunscreen use actually causes a host of issues (one of
which, ironically, is skin cancer). Nadine Artemis — sense visionary and
founder of Living Libations — joins us to set the record straight on sun
exposure and goes over how to properly interact with the sun for optimal
health.
