[quote=Anonymous]I’m a (pale) Floridian born in 1980, and my mom was religious about sunblock. She insisted on SPF 30 (and higher once it was available). She would even put it on my hair part because she had gotten a sunburn on her scalp once as a child. I got a lot of comments on how pale I was in high school. My sister drove my mom nuts by doing the “laying out” with baby oil thing as a teen/young adult. Now she’s 50 and regrets it— There are 5 years between us but it looks like 20. I’ve had several relatives with skin cancer, including one who lost a significant portion of his nose, and my husband has had basal cell carcinoma once already. I’m grateful to my mom, but she was definitely unusual compared to my friends’ parents and even other adults in my family. [/quote]
