"Adults need to apply a palmful [an ounce] of sunscreen every two hours," Leiba tells Shine. "Don't slather it on once and stay out all day." Avoid the sun completely from 10AM to 2PM and use a hat, clothing, and sunglasses as your primary protection. Here's a link to the publication http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/c ... 00044.html |

| Best wishes Suzi!! I, too, had skin cancer several years ago, on my arm....and my dad had MANY spots removed on his face. Scary stuff  |
| Went to pharmacy to pick up my meds and there, next to the counter on the "gottcha--we are going to charge you big time" shelf...were all the Blue Lizard sunscreens. Now I just have to remember to use it. All that zinc and titanium......makes my skin sparkle! Just call me Sparkle Plenty! |
