Watch the sun!  I was avid sun guy for years. I had to have many laser treatments for pigmentation (brown spots) and a lot of crusty spots on the nose frozen off over a 2-year period. Im more careful now. But I guess a lot of us get these when we're older.

The headshade stuff isn't bad.  I'm almost done with this bottle.  The only problem is it's SPF 15 which means after a couple of hours in the sun you might as well be wearing cooking oil.  A little sun is not a bad thing... studies have shown that if you have a tan you have a much better survival rate with melenoma.  That being said, anytime you get sunburn you double your chance of getting melenoma.  My routine is pretty simple... anytime I'm out without a hat for a decent amount of time, I'm wearing head shade.  If I'm doing work outside, I'm probably wearing a hat.  If I'm going to the beach, or plan on being outside in hot sun for a while, I'm putting real sunscreen on.  SPF 15 is enough for moderate sun for maybe an hour and a half of exposure, but I wouldn't trust my life with it against a day on the beach.  I think if HB were to throw some zinc and SPF 30 or 45 into their Headlube, life would be good.

I am really have tender skin so I can get sunburnt really easy!
and have had some skin cancer taken off, no fun!!!

I always keep at least SPF45 everywhere I go even in the winter time. Plus if I am out in
the sun for long periods of time I wear a hat!
