 WASHINGTON -- A clearer, more meaningful standard for sunscreen labels is coming soon to a lotion near you, but not in time for the summer beach season that kicks off this Memorial Day weekend.
The Food and Drug Administration is working to finish new labeling rules that have been years in the making, but not before October.
The current labeling system for sunscreen products is problematic, concedes Dr. James Spencer, spokesman for the American Academy of Dermatology. But as millions throng to the beaches, he counsels: ``Sunscreen is the best you can do for now, and we're working on better.''
The idea behind the new federal regulations is to make labels less confusing, so consumers know exactly what kind of protection they're getting.
Most sunscreens on the market boast ``broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection.'' There's a standard test to determine protection from the ultraviolet-B rays that cause sunburn -- the familiar SPF rankings that tell people how long they can stay out in the sun before a burn.
But there is not a standard test to check protection from ultraviolet-A rays, the ones linked to cancer and wrinkles. That means it's not clear how much UVA protection people are getting from their sunscreens.

With the Olympics behind him and the World Championships only a month away, Johnny Weir is already beginning to think about a future beyond figure skating. In a recent interview with Yahoo! Sports he said:
I am going to skate in the World Championships and then I have to decide how long I want to stay on vacation. In figure skating your body can only last for so long. I can’t be 50 and trying to skate but I can be 50 and be in fashion, so I have to look to my future and what I want to achieve.
After a week of speculation, he confirmed the sentiment when he spoke with Bryant Gumbel on HBO’s Real Sports saying he would enter the fashion world in a “big way.” But what would Johnny’s line look like? Given that he designs his own costumes and has a flair for fur and spangles, we really don’t have a clue.
Will he blend the feminine and masculine sides of his personality and have an androgynous line? Or will he have a more structured and militaristic line inspired by his love for all things Russian?
We’ve gone through some of his best looks on and off the ice to catch a glimmer of what we may expect from our fashionista on ice.
