Real Deal: Sun Protection

try not to listen to the fear mongering media (redundant?), the medical profession hypochondria, journalists trying to sell magazines (unlike me, im just trying to sell a blog! haha). take the words of some one who is fair skinned (we are always fair or white, never pale or pasty) and who lived in the desert for over a year:

• buy cheapo SPF 15 lotion. that's all i did. from a dollar store. you don't need spf 2000 bullshit
• 
  
• at the beginning of Sun exposure, rub it all over the exposed areas. all of them: ears, cleavage, feet, etc.
• 
  
• unless you're going swimming or something, after which you of course re apply, ur done.

that's it. that's all i did for over 2 years. and i never got sunburn, again living in the middle of the Mojave, no trees, no a/c so we were outside all the time, often sitting and moving in high noon.
