Sunblock is cheaper than Chemo

I agree that sunblock is much cheaper than chemotherapy, and chemotherapy fails more often. So your readers understand, there is a difference between sunblock and sunscreen. Sunblock blocks both UVA and UVB rays quite effectively as long as it is reapplied often. Products that do this include zinc oxide and titanium dioxide.

With regard to sunscreen, always choose a product that protects against UVA as well as UVB rays even if it is more expensive. Products that just screen out UVB rays (the "burning rays"), have not been shown to protect against the deadliest skin cancers. Look for products containing either mexoryl SX (In L'Oreals Anthelios SX) or helioplex (found in several Neutrogena products).
