If you haven't already, please hop on over to Heidi's blog to catch her lecture on sunscreen... it is an important reminder as we head into summer.
We have had a beautiful sunny weekend in the Seattle area after much gray and rain... but it is also on my mind because my Hubby had a surgery in March to remove a pretty big area on his abdomen where a tiny little mole that turned out to be a malignant melanoma had been. He now has about a 3-4 inch scar... can you imagine this on your face? Luckily his was only .2 mm deep (the depth is key... I believe if it is 1 mm it can be very serious.), and he is fine. He is blonde and blue eyed and, while younger than the usual first time diagnosed patient, has a history of spending time in the sun without sunscreen on. He now has to go for skin checks every three months.
So, stock up on that sunscreen folks! I personally like Burt's Bees Chemical-Free SPF 30 and Neutrogena Sensitive Skin SPF 30, both of which can be found at Target, along with lovely displays of many, many other kinds!
As I stated on Heidi's blog, the subject of these posting, (sunscreen) is very important! Thanks for the recommendations, I also love the Burt's Bees stuff!!
ReplyDeleteDo you have any good recommendations for face sunscreens? I've been using Neutrogena's SPF moisturizer, but I've found it leaves my skin just a tad greasy and it occasionally makes me break out slightly. I've found that most sunscreens, even if they claim to be non-greasy, usually are not as clean and light as I would like them to be.
ReplyDeleteZoe Moet - You may want to give Obagi 35 SPF a try - it's very nice and I've not had any problems with it. I got it from my Drs office so I don't know how hard it is to find. I have also been using an Oil of Olay moisturizer that has SPF 15 without any problems.
