I had skin cancer---an area of my ear that I underwent MOHS surgery to repair and restore..as well as having to put Effudex (kind of like a chemo cream) on my face for 3 weeks. Neither was a pleasant experience and both were caused by early and often sun exposure when young.

Today, every morning no matter whether indoors, outdoors, driving, whatever, I apply a liberal dose of Aveeno Positively Radiant--combo skin moisturizer/sun screen, spf30--easy to put on, doesnt sting and I feel protected when just walking around throughout the day. Plus it makes my skin look great---I got a new layer of skin to appear on my face after the Effudex basically "burned off" (ouch) the old pre cancerous spotted skin I had before. If I'm going to be outside for an extended period of time, obviously I put on a full and higher spf straight sun screen. But for my face and ears I feel I'm pretty well protected for the daily in and out and about things we all do with the Aveeno.

I used to be a windsurfer and now I do indoor sports---I play ice hockey year round indoors and love it so I have never let getting skin cancer due to sun exposure stop me from being active---just have had to adjust some and think about being protected if doing extended outdoor stuff.

A recent study showed most sunscreens are ineffective at protecting our skin from the sun. Plus many have ingredients that cause cancer. Here is an article with links to the study as well as a list of sunscreens that are considered safe and effective.

If you type "Sun exposure" and "melanoma" into Pubmed, you will find a host of articles that suggest that sun exposure does not necessarily cause melanoma (thought it clearly causes other types of skin cancer) and may even be protective:

Eur J Cancer. 1999 Dec;35(14):2003-9.

And yes, I know somebody who has had malignant melanoma: my husband. We researched this very thoroughly, and although we feel he should avoid excess sun exposure and sunburn, his melanoma was in a place on his thigh which was _not_ exposed to sun. We use sunscreen, and we avoid sunburn, but avoiding sun entirely may in fact cause other types of non-skin cancers, and may even promote melanomas.

Cancers of all types except skin cancer are less prevalent in geographical areas nearer to the equator.
