Actually it is. I used the BB Sport Spray or something like that... SPF 30. My chest seems to fry more so than the rest of me... so I have to reapply there more often. Used the spray on my chest and shoulders it in Jamaica this year... and it worked great! And I was in the water like every 20 minutes!

hmmmmmm. maybe i'll check it out. lord knows we can use it year around down here

Yep. But terminally pale is way better than having to do this again:

That's topical chemotherapy for skin cancer and pre-cancerous lesions.......

Put poison cream on your raw face twice a day for a month.

Bring on the SPF 983

The chemo IS the cream..... It attacks cancerous and pre-cancerous cells... All of those raw spots were either cancerous or pre-cancerous.

I'm pretty religious about sunscreen now......

Since Jen posted her pic---maybe it's time for me to post mine

The yellow patch was SEWN to my face

This was a week post surgery....and over 100 stitches.

Skin cancer is not pretty.
Use sunscreen

Though I don't sunbathe anymore, I have become very susceptible to sun poisoning, so I often have to use sunscreen even when driving.

Am allergic to coconut, and can't stand that smell, but love the smell of Coppertone (one of those scents that conjures up all sorts of images) so I use it.

Personally, I think Molly's was even worse than mine..... OUCH!!!

The skin cancer poster children implore you..... use sunscreen!

Thanks Jen---but it wasn't a contest and I hope no one else EVER has to go through what either of us has.
However, I do know another BNer and a non-BNer that is going through MOHS surgery.

No, not a contest..... Everyone who has to do this stuff has already "lost"....

That's the same type surgery Mr. SGH had on his chest! He ended up with 19 stainless steel staples by the time they were done....

You think we've scared 'em enough now?

Probably not---they are young and think nothing will happen to them.
They all will have to learn on their own time....too bad.

I hope they never have to say---I wish I had listened to SGH and SP
