Don’t forget sunscreen on your lower legs & feet, especially between your toes.

It doesn't matter what you eat. Exposing yourself to a great deal of sun will result in skin damage. The chemical sunscreen is very effective, with little absorption for an adult. If you are concerned about that, use mineral sunscreen. I started using it every day for the last fifty years and it has protected me from sun damage and wrinkling. I wish I had thus stuff when I was a kid.

Be careful which sunscreen you choose. Approximately 70 percent of them have been proven to have cancer causing ingredients. And it absolutely matters what you eat. Those who eat processed foods are much more likely to burn.

I do hope you will tell me what chemical is in them that is "cancer causing" MD Anderson does not know about it.
Years ago there was contaminated product with benzene which the FDA ordered removed.

As to "Those who eat processed foods are much more likely to burn" ... perhaps you have a reference to offer. The Google says

No, I will continue to use tanning oil.

I can tell.

A baseball cap does NOT cover the tops of the ears which is a good location for skin cancer. Better to wear a hat with a brim all the way around.

I only eat beet root and blueberries. No other food at all. I had stage 5 cancer and was in a coma. I was even dead once, but being fed intravenous oxidants via beet root and blueberries not only brought me back from the dead, revived me from coma, and completely eliminated all my cancers. My diet even reached out of my body and cured the cancer of the person in the hospital bed next to me.

Oh, and I only drink (and of course sell on the side) POM pomegranate juice. The vitamins, minerals, special age-defying and even life-restoring natural chemicals and anti-oxidants combined with the other insert-buzzword-homeopathic-organic-made-up-ingredients-here have taken years off my age, removed all my age spots, straightened out my spine, removed all my wrinkles, regrew my hair, and reduced all my belly flat, and returned me to my teen-aged years.

All medically approved by doctors, of course. I can provide their names and credentials. Some medical school in Roatan or the Ivory Coast, I forget where exactly.

Skin cancer survivor here. I see the dermatologist every year for a full body check Wear your sunscreen!! I don't believe teaching sailing after college helped.

Or, as another poster stated, you can just take "antioxidants" like "well informed healthcare professionals" while "believing in science" :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: It avoids the temptation to eat your tube of sunscreen.

Thank you for your cancer research, I hope it added to factual scientific and medical knowledge rather the populist Voo-doo that tends to get spouted out on social media.

And just so everyone knows, "Dr." Stephen Gundry is a complete wacko. Here's a representative snippet:

"Gundry sells supplements that he claims protect against the damaging effect of lectins.[9][7][27][6] T. Colin Campbell, a biochemist and advocate for plant-based diets, states that The Plant Paradox contains numerous unsupported claims, and refutes that it makes a "convincing argument that lectins as a class are hazardous."[7] Robert H. Eckel, an endocrinologist and past president of the American Heart Association, argues that Gundry's diet advice contradicts "every dietary recommendation represented by the American Cancer Society, American Heart Association, American Diabetes Association and so on" and that it is not possible to draw any conclusions from Gundry's own research due to the absence of control patients in his studies. Writing in New Scientist, food writer and chef Anthony Warner notes that Gundry's theories "are not supported by mainstream nutritional science" and that evidence of the benefits of high-lectin-containing diets "is so overwhelming as to render Gundry’s arguments laughable".[27]"

Yep---that's the guy whose advice we should all follow :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl: He must also "believe in science" :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

From the OP. Came in today.

Ready for use…. Although the nose is red/yucky after the cryo treatment. Doc said it will be a couple weeks for the yuck to disengage and have fresh new skin show up. But will take a month or so to appear “normal”. Going for follow up in 60 days. And I WILL use spf50. Now.

Update from OP.

Had a reaction to this Coppertone Sport sunscreen. Dr told me to go with a sunscreen specific to the FACE. Got this on Amazon, and 50 SPF. Nose is almost back to (good) normal skin. Followup appt with Derm Dr in a month or so - hopefully all clear. I will use this sunscreen on face and ears etc. Have a good spray SPF50 for arms legs etc al.

Too much sun is not good. You need the vitamin D but sun will damage your skin.
