If you take a skiing vacation in the mountains, the sun's intensity is astoundingly higher there than at sea level. So climbers, hikers, and skiers need the ultra-protection of the superb sunscreens now available. Men would best give up their traditional aftershave lotions and begin to apply sunscreen as an aftershave if they can. These damaged cells are noted far before the onset of redness which as always been the indicator of sunscreen effectiveness. This is why we suggest the more powerful higher SPF-rated sunscreens now available.
Noses are a special problem, especially for swimmers.
Because of its precariously perpendicular position relative to the sun's rays, the nose can sizzle in minutes. This means that it is exceptionally sensitive to skin cancers as well, and tumors on the nose are a major problem. We recommend complete coverage of the nose skin with a totally light occlusive block-out, such as those you see in our Dermeds Section. Don't forget another type of physical sunscreen that acts as a physical barrier between you and the sunlight. Physical sunscreens very effectively shield you from the sun.
