Default If you're not wearing a safe sunscreen, do so

10 years of me running around in the sun without a wide brim hat and a safe sunscreen has resulted in a thumb sized chunk being taken out of my nose. I also have some other spots that are pre-cancerous. only a small spot of a squamous cell cancer was showing though, but there was a fairly large basal cell tumor hiddened underneath. It's no fun going through Moh's surgery to remove. Thank God it wasn't melanoma. hopefully I can save one of you from skin cancer. I don't know which sunscreens are considered safe yet, but tests have been conducted on 500 sunscreens and only 39 of those are considered safe. Do a web search "sunscreen and lymphoma" and "EWG's skin deep". sunscreen could actually help you get cancer. research it. lets enjoy our roadsters safely.

I found that Neutrogena Ulitmate Sport SPF 70 is really good protection.

Good afternoon. Of course, exposing your skin to the sun without sunscreen can be harmful. Sunscreen is crucial to protect against harmful UV rays, prevent sunburn and long-term skin damage. I always prioritize skin health and apply sunscreen regularly for safe sun exposure.

I know how damaging direct sunlight can be, so I always use Black Girl Sunscreen, it's suitable for people of all skin tones. Despite its name, the sunscreen has a transparent formula that doesn't leave a white residue on the skin. I inquired with black girl sunscreen customer service about this brand and they assured me of its effectiveness and emphasized its inclusiveness in sun care. This is a great product, I recommend it to everyone.
