I can't say I'm out in the sun very much, other than running from car to store or car to house. I walk at 5 am, so I don't have to worry about the sun then.

I use sunblock everyday...even in the winter or when it rains! I use Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock SPF100 which contains Helioplex. Everytime they come out with a higher SPF I go for it. LOL! They say it's really pointless to use anything above 45 SPF but I don't believe them. I think in a few years their going to find out they were wrong! Besides, it makes me feel better psychologically. I have friends who are a few years younger than me and they look 10 years older simply because they were sun worshipers when they were younger and now their skin looks like leather.

I forget why but I have a hard time thinking of using anything else for Erin. She was badly sunburned at about nine months...in November!!! Her face swelled up so badly and since then I've been paranoid!!! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
