Don't skimp on the sunscreen

It takes a dollop of sunscreen the length of your thumb to cover the skin on your face, neck, chest, and hands, say the editors of Glamour magazine (May 2008). What's it take for whole-body coverage?

Two tablespoons. At the very least. That's one ounce of lotion per application -- and don't forget to reapply. You know what this means? One eight-ounce bottle of sunscreen should never last more than a few trips to the beach.

I know: Sunscreen is expensive. But it's worth the investment, because skin cancer costs a whole lot more than sunscreen will ever cost. Promise.
