Accepted Answer

Sun protection habits often become much more important after a melanoma diagnosis, and it's completely natural for routines to evolve as people learn more about protecting their skin. Many community members find that sharing their SPF experiences helps others discover new products and strategies that work well for different lifestyles and skin types.

30 spf all over and I get scared when the sun is out! I feel like Marlon Brando from Apocalypse Now when I suit up!

I was told that the damage was done when I was a teenager and young women swimming in the ocean in California without a wetsuit I’m now 85 and have stage four Melanoma, but I still swim with a wetsuit and garments to protect me from the sun Plus SPF
