    Two words, sun worshippers: broad spectrum. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has issued new rules to help simplify confusing sunscreen labels. Manufacturers will be required to test their products' effectiveness against two types of the sun's damaging rays, UVA and UVB. Products that screen both will be labeled as offering broad-spectrum protection. Sunscreens that are both broad spectrum and have an SPF of 15 or higher will also be permitted to claim--for the first time--that they can help reduce the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging. Expect the new labels by next summer.
