T&T: Best sunscreen

[StWillett at aol.com]

I have seen a poster in a dermatologist's office stating, and have read  
elsewhere several times  
"Research shows that approximately 80 percent of sun exposure and damage  
occurs before the age of 18"
  If this is so would it be true that over the next +-50 years of ones  life 
the remaining 20% of exposure is accumulated? at a rate of .4% per year! It  
would seem there is not much we can do about it now?
I grew up in the Caribbean spent and lots of time at the beach and was  
sunburned badly quite a few times, in those days skin cancer was not thought  about 
too much at least by the folks we knew, we did use plain  old Coppertone 
"Don't be a paleface", suntan lotion once in a while. Apart  from some dry patches 
which need the Liquid Nitrogen burn once in a  while no problems I'll keep my 
fingers crossed and keep sloping on the  sunscreen!
maybe Sam has it right saying 
"On that note, I'll crack a cold one, let the gen set run, slather on  some  
off-brand SPF 23.129, and enjoy the sunset tonight..."
