Hi Dr. B, could you write blogs on these topics please:
--the difference in protection between stable vs. unstable sunscreen
--is there a difference in protection between physical and chemical sunscreen
--how can you tell if you shouldn't wear chemical sunscreen
--do you need to use a different sunscreen around the eyes
--how you should change your skin care regimen if you use retinoids, especially retin-a micro
--how stress affects skin
Thanks so much!

I think that another myth that should have been included is the misconception amongst African-Americans that don't need to wear sunscreed because they don't "burn"

So clothing only provides SPF of about 5? How does this account for "Farmer Tans?"
And how do you protect your head if you don't have a hat? Any suggestions for product that doesn't produce a lot of sticky goo in your hair?

What I've always been confused about is sunscreen on work days. I put on my sunblock in the morning (I use an SPF 55), I got to the office, and I work all day inside (no windows). Before I leave, am I supposed to go into the bathroom, take off all of my makeup, re-apply my sunblock, and wait for half an hour to go home?

ARE YOU KIDDING ME ? what is more important - the great skin (good ONLY FOR EXTERNAL IMAGE) or so many benefits sunlight can bring to you body ?
what about Vitamin D (so critical foe Calcium absorbtion, depression and preventing some cancers) your body needs to produce IN THE SUNLIGHT ?
What about so many chemicals in SPF 30 or 45 on your largest organ (the skin)? SPF 15 protect 95-97% and you get so little extra-protection with SO much chemicals for an SPF 30 or 45 %

I agree. I'm a lifeguard at the local park district and they make all the lifeguards wear t-shirts but I burn through the cotton shirts. That's what I get for being irish. :(
