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.
