How great - a thread on sunscreen that morphed into beach wear!
Just a note - I don't know how "correct" it is, but, because I am paranoid because I have had to have an operation on my nose because of cancer due to sun exposure, if I don't have sunscreen, or even sometimes if I do, I put high SPF Chapstick on my nose and cheeks, as well as my mouth. And, my favorite sunscreen has zinc. The tops of my hands and tops of my feet have been affected so I slather them well. We are at the beach all summer - with the rash guards and long wetsuits the most vulnerable place is the face.
One more note: unfortunately, bright sunlight has been indicated in cateracts (yep, had one eye done), so eye protection is key, but tuff when in the waves. Have to compromise there and go without glasses when out in the water, tho often wear a hat (bright pink, bucketstyle, cute or dorky, but better than nothing!)
