Using a daily sunscreen never even crossed my mind until this year (turned 27) and I started to get worried about my major baking sessions and my years of playing waterpolo and swimming and (gasp) I never used sunscreen! Now that I am in my late twenties I am a lot more concious! This year I hardly even tan or never use tanning beds. Yuck! However, I love using self tanners! My girlfriend is in the middle of developing her own self tanner line and I tried it the other day and it was great. It was the only one I have ever used that did not smell weird. It smelled like a tropical island! Anyway, I am excited. It is so new that is doesn't even have a name yet. I just think it is great that you are informing girls on how important this is!

Totally gotta try that! ❤ Prêt-à-Porter P, be sure to still use sunscreen. You definitely have more protection built into your skin but you can still develop skin cancer: "Skin cancer can develop in anyone, not only people with these risk factors. Young, healthy people -- even those with with dark skin, hair, and eyes -- can develop skin cancer." (source: http://www.righthealth.com/topic/Skin_Cancer/overview/adam20?fdid=Adamv2_fac0c3abca93fc99dd64f466ee537c7d&section=Summary) The sunscreens with physical sunblocks like zinc oxide can definitely have a chalky look that's quite obvious on a deeper skin tone. But it's not the case with all of them. The Body Deli and Jurlique sunscreens are all-natural but don't have any whitish cast. Not sure how they do that but they're excellent that way. I need to go back and add that info to the article. ❤ Hannele, thanks so much for the kind words and for mentioning my article! So glad you found this helpful. :) ❤ Legally Blonde, thanks so much for the tip about Hair Shadz. Totally gotta try that!

I adore the sun! Just love it - and yet I've had skin cancer many times. I found that my hair does NOT protect my head/scalp from the sun. It goes right through! Sometimes a hat makes you all sweaty so I use a product called Hair Shadz! For the price of 1 product, I get 3. It provides spf 15 protection for the scalp, covers up my roots - so I can go longer between appointments - and it works as a dry shampoo for when I'm on the go, at the gym, traveling, you know. The inventor's mother died from scalp melanoma and she herself has helped many people get to a doctor because they can't see their scalp. She's a colorist too! Simple to use, just brush in on like a blush. There's no residue and I can play outside. With protective clothing, skin care, and Hair Shadz I intend to hold off ageing as long as possible! And you can purchase it at www.monimay.com. There's a clear shade for kids and men. The info in the post is right on! I adore the sun! Just love it – and yet I’ve had skin cancer many times.

That stinks. Perhaps the Lancome stuff is a chemical sunscreen (which absorbs rays) and the other stuff was a physical sunscreen (which deflects the rays) so the other stuff did better for you. Hope you find something better! I really like the more natural stuff. They do seem to be more gentle and still very effective. There's one other thing you should keep in mind. Are you spending a lot of time in the heat? I just learned that heat (whether from the sun or a hot shower or sauna) stimulates melanin production, which leads to more freckles and age spots. Total bummer! ❤ pam munro, all very good tips! I forgot to mention hat and sunglasses. I should go back and amend. I'm also very big on using makeup with sun protection to layer on more protection. ❤ Patti, so glad you found this helpful. I had kept sunscreens for years in the past and was wondering if that was a bad idea. Indeed it is! ❤ Leigh, sorry to hear that. That stinks.
