Around about 2o years ago we hit the slops at sunshine for spring skiing......without sunscreen. Young and STUPID, catching rays all 5 of us had 2nd degree burns. To make matters worse we put Noxzema on our face (NEVER DO THIS) Under Doctors care we were told not to leave the house, I can't remember what he had us clean our face with to get rid of the Noxzema, but the whole experience was not good.
After that day I have never been without my sunscreen.

More than a million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the U.S. every year. Make sure your sunscreen is protecting you and not harming you.
