So I've preached before about how important it is to wear sunblock and I just want to reiterate why.....Because you don't want to look like this, dammit!

Do I have you all running out to the store to pick up some SPF 50? Good! My friend and I were talking the other day about how lucky we are to be educated about the effects of sun damage to our skin and how we're being smart about wearing sunscreen and preventing damage unlike our mothers who, years ago, tanned using baby oil - literally frying themselves in 30 degree weather and causing not only major sun damage but wrinkles a plenty. To avoid burning your skin, being diagnosed with melanoma (aka skin cancer), second-degree burns, peeling, skin lesions, wrinkles and premature aging (just to name a few) I recommend wearing sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 or higher instead of risking looking like a bright deep-fried tomato with gnarly tan lines after being in the sun for a couple of hours.Most of the sun damage you do to your skin cannot be undone! So doesn't it make more sense to protect your skin NOW, especially while you're younger? Your skin will thank you later on.
I want to know: how many of my readers wear sunblock? What type of sunscreen do you use? Here are my picks.
