    I'm one of those people that can literally be outside 7 minutes(no joke) and get sun burned. I have to put sunscreen on every time I set foot outside.

    UPF rated clothing, upf rated umbrella shade & SPF are always a must have. Found many affordable UPF at Sam's club, Costco, & REI.

    Even though I don't burn easy the sun in Vegas is hot! And I did have a heatstroke once so I have a respect for it! My skin at 50 really has few wrinkles because of this and skin care.

    I typically put sunblock on first thing in the morning and then redo my face around lunch time since I live in Phoenix. When out at the pool or water park, I redo sunblock every hour or so. I also use a Vitamin C cream at night for face and neck.

    Because I am an African American for some reason it surprises many people that I wear sunscreen and sometimes when I am checking out the Clerk(s) kind of have a surprised look in their faces. What many people nay not realize is that the suns rays damages my skin to and also causes wrinkling. I do no care if it is at a slower rate than many other races, I want to preserve my skin integrity for as long as possible. Black might not crack but it will still wrinkle.
