[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My father, a doctor, required daily sunscreen use from age 13 on.  He puts his foot down about nothing and spoiled me silly, but he is serious as a heart attack about sunscreen.  When I was in later high school, there was a Time or Newsweek cover about the increased rate of skin cancer.  I understood better about his obsession.  And he always used to say that we would thank him when we were 40.  He was right!![/quote]

Sis, is that you?  Seriously, I'm 50 and get compliments all the time on my skin from women who want to know what I use on it.  My answer is "whatever's on sale at CVS or what they're handing out for free at Sephora, but I always wear sunscreen --usually with a hat. "  I"m also a doctor's daughter and yes, my dad too would come home too tired to discipline us (thanks, mom, for doing that or we'd be a bunch of spoiled brats), but he also made us wear sunscreen way before this was a prevalent concern among the public/media.  I will say, though, that we were also fortunate genetically -- Italian and Greek heritage, so we tan easily and never burn.  [/quote]
