Thanks for the reminder, Dr. Skunky. My brother died from a rare soft tissue melanoma so I should definitely heed this advice. I've already stockpiled my SPF 50 for the upcoming beach trip.

Thanks Skunky good advice and reminder. :clap_1:
I did go about a month or so ago to be-checked from last year.
My 99 yr. old gramps has had it for a long time, and with it being heredity and all I make the effort, not to mention they took something suspicious off last year that came back with irregular cells.
So people, go get checked!

spf 50 ????????????? :shock: (;-) )
Audie, I wear between 30 and 45 (didn't know there was a 50) and I still get color and I have olive oil skin. MANgo gets jealous casue I get tan just looking at the sun.
I'm so white, I'll burn to a crisp if I use anything less potent. Sad but true. You'll also love my signature beach hairdo - ponytail and baseball cap. If you've ever had a sunburned part line, you'd understand (try running a hairbrush thru one long blister - ouch!)
i always have a scarf on over my hair along with some kind of hat - been there done that with the burnt scalp - won't go there again
Thanks OL, I will take another look but did not see an exp date...where the heck are those glasses!
it's a good practice to buy new sunscreen every season, regardless of any expiration date.
Gosh, I didn't know that sunscreen expires. I think Big D has some sunscreen for his bald head that's 10 years old --yikes! BTW we go every August to the dermatologist for a head-to-toe checkup. It's sort of embarrassing to have him look at my big butt, but better than having an undetected skin cancer.
We despise putting on sunscreen, so we've gotten to the point that we only go to the pool after the shade from the fence blocks the sun's rays. We came up with an invention that would make putting on sunscreen so easy. You know how they have those booths with the multiple jets for spraying on a fake tan? What if the self-tanner were replaced with sunscreen so you could walk in and get sprayed with sunscreen in a matter of seconds? Someone could place one at every beach access, there could be a self-pay option like at Kroger, and then you'd walk out of the booth protected from the sun. I am so lazy regarding putting on sunscreen that I'd pay for that luxury.

Coppertone actually has a wonderful product, spray-on sunscreen. My lily white rump has been out all day using this stuff and I didn't burn. Very easy to use and spares the hands from the goop. You will still need to go 'old school' on your face, however
