The 8 Biggest Sun Protection Mistakes

Andrew Daniels - Men's Health - May 25, 2011

Imagine heading out in a thunderstorm with a big, sturdy umbrella--one you've just slashed apart with a razor. Madness, right? And yet, that's how most men approach sun protection: Totally half-assed.
 
But even if you slather on SPF as religiously as an Irish priest in Ecuador, you're likely making a few mistakes without even knowing it. And since the National Skin Cancer Foundation estimates that 90 percent of non-melanoma skin cancers are caused by sun exposure, those blunders could cost you. Here are 7 common sun protection errors--and what you should do instead.
 
You wear sunscreen, but...

You Don't Wear Enough
 
A 2007 study in the British Journal of Dermatology revealed a huge gap between a sunscreen's theoretical sun-protection factor (SPF) and its real-world protection, because sunscreen users often apply only a quarter of the recommended amount. "You should try to use roughly a shot glass of sunscreen for each application," says Tom Rohrer, M.D., a dermatologist in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. That's about 1.5 ounces. As for your face, shoot for a teaspoon each time out.
 
You Only Apply It Once
 
Too many people put their sunscreen on once and consider it done for the day, but even the sweatproof, waterproof, and "long-acting" sunscreens wear off from sweating and swimming, Rohrer says. Stick to these rules: Apply the first batch of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, so that it can fully absorb into your skin. Then, reapply it every 2 hours, or immediately after you take a swim or sweat excessively.
 
It's Not the Right Stuff
 
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends using a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. "Anything lower will block a portion of the sun's light, but not the whole broad spectrum, allowing damage to occur," says Mark Lebwohl, M.D., chair of the dermatology department at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. Look for any brand with an ingredient called mexoryl, a UVA-blocking compound that doesn't degrade as quickly in sunlight as other FDA-approved UVA filters.
 
You Rely on Your T-Shirt
 
Dress defensively: A regular T-shirt only has an SPF of about 5, says William Heimer, M.D., a dermatologist in San Diego. "That means a lot of UV light is filtering through." You can find cool styles of clothing with built-in SPF at sundayafternoons.com, or sprinkle a laundry aid like SunGuard into your wash, which increases clothing's SPF to 30.

You Forget Your Supporting Cast
 
You may have your body and face covered, but don't forget your eyes, lips, and noggin. UVA and UVB rays, which are invisible to the naked eye, can cause cataracts, eyelid cancers, and skin cancers. But don't just strap on any pair of sunglasses--only the UV-blocking brands will work. You don't have to spring for an expensive set of Ray-Bans, but make sure you get lenses with 100% UV protection.

Now for your lips: The skin on your lips is very thin, making them especially susceptible to sun damage, and your lower lip is one of the most common sites for squamous-cell carcinoma to set in, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation. Always use a lip balm with an SPF of 30 or higher on your lips, and keep reapplying using your same sunscreen schedule.

Finally, wear a broad-brimmed hat to cover your head, and not one that's made of mesh. "A mesh hat isn't adequate protection because it still allows light to get through to your scalp," Lebwohl says.
 
You Avoid the Sun Completely
 
When it comes to prevention, there's concerned, and then there's paranoid. Don't go overboard and sit out the summer by spending it indoors. Actually, sunlight could also play a role in defeating melanoma. A 2005 study at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center found that melanoma patients who had the most sun exposure prior to diagnosis had better odds of survival. That may be because vitamin D, which is produced by the sun, can help slow the spread of cancer. (Still, Lebwohl recommends a vitamin D supplement rather than spending time in the sun to produce it.) Bottom line: Go ahead, enjoy the sun—when you're covered up.
 
You Drink the Wrong Caffeine
 
There's nothing wrong with a cup of joe--but switching to tea could help fight cancer. Green tea is packed with powerful antioxidants that act as a sort of self-destruct button for would-be cancer cells, causing them to die off before they can turn malignant. Your prescription: Drink two large cups of green tea daily.

You Only Check for Raised Brown Spots
 
Ice Cube was right: You do need to check yourself before you wreck yourself, and make sure to check often. The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends examining your skin from head to toe every month for anything suspicious--not just raised brown spots. If you find any new or changing moles (size, shape, color, border), show them to your dermatologist immediately, Mohrer says. Because not all cancer looks like cancer: "The majority of melanomas I've seen and diagnosed are flat to the skin," he says. And basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas, which are far more common than melanomas (an estimated 2.8 million and 700,000 cases are diagnosed each year in the U.S., respectively), can look like small clear or pink pimples that continue to grow slowly over time, says Mohrer. So when in doubt, get it checked.
Take Action:
  • Update: DADT has been repealed. President Obama has kept his promise!
  • Boycott Bill O'Reilly and FOX News and their advertisers. Bill discussed a French commercial by McDonalds that was meant to show that McDonalds is Gay Friendly. Bill said what is next? Is McDonalds going to be Al-Qaida friendly as well? Imagine - Bill O'Reilly compares Gays to Al-Qaida! In conclusion, O'Reilly expressed out-right Hatrad of the LGBT Community.
  • Boycott Arizona the home of "hater" - U.S. Senator John McCain. Arizona's Hateful anti-Immigration Law - encourages racial profiling and increases hatred towards minorities. A remedy: Demand Republicans to support Immigration Reform (The Dream Act). Further, Senator McCain voted against ending DADT and Blocked Immigration reform!
  • Boycott Target, Best Buy, Gold's Gym - for donating money towards anti-gay political candidates/organizations. Update: (12/26/2010): Target is continuing to donate to anti-gay groups/causes/politicians. Update 03/08/11 - Lady Gaga Ends Target Partnership, Reportedly Over Target's Poor LGBT Stance. Update 3/25/2010 - Target displays their hypocrisy and Sues California Gay Rights Group for Lobbying Outside Stores. Target is attempting to block the LGBT right of free speech! STOP SHOPPING AT TARGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Update 4/8/2011: Target lost it's case to stop the LGBT from canvassing in front of their stores. A huge PR Disaster for TARGET! Perhaps Target should go out of business as they betrayed their investers and customers. Target contributed massive funds to a politician who would like to exterminate gays. Now, Target can not stop us from Boycotting them, nor picketing, nor talking to customers near their stores; although, Target allows a anti-gay company such as the Salvation Army to stand outside their door and speak with customers and raise money. Isn't this a double standard? Perhaps TARGET would better understand the issue if they cared about David Kato - Uganda, who was slain because he is gay! That is because Uganda wants to kill gay people. Again, TARGET invested in a political candidate that would Kill the Gays!
  • End DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act). Prevents Federal employees and Gays in the Military from gaining equal benefits. Prevents Gay Partners from gaining equal benefits.
  • Pass ENDA (Employee Non-Discrimination Act). ENDA would prevent employment discrimination of LGBT workforce.
  • Boycott Salvation Army as they will not hire Gays! "DO NOT DONATE TO THEM."
  • BOYCOTT "Chick-fil-a" for donating to anti-gay marriage groups.
  • BOYCOTT KOCH INDUSTRIES PRODUCTS- to include their products: Angel Soft toilet paper / Brawny paper towels / Dixie plates, bowls, napkins & cups / Mardi Gras napkins and towels / Quilted Northern toilet paper / Soft 'n Gentle toilet paper / Sparkle napkins / Vanity fair napkins / Zee napkins / Georgia-Pacific paper products & envelopes / All Georgia-Pacific lumber & building products (INVISTA Products) / Lycra / Stainmaster Carpet. The billionaire - Koch brothers are ultra republican - tea bag founders/supporters that do not support causes of the LGBT community.
  • Boycott WALMART - The National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, force criticized Wal-Mart for denying employee benefits to same-s-x partners and for failing to prohibit discrimination based on gender identity. By comparison, the group said two other chain stores with a strong presence in New York, Costco and Walgreens, did much better.
  • NEW: "Tune Out Trump", Boycott all Trump Hotel, casinos, holdings, The Apprentice and NBC Network! At CPAC, Trump said he is considering a run for president as a Republican. In a interview with the Des Moines Register, Trump added that he opposes all forms of legal recognition for gay couples, not just marriage. "They should not be able to marry," he said. So why does NBC keep the Apprentice when Donald Trump has stated he may run for president? After making racist remarks about Obama and recv'g public backlash, Trump decided not to run for president after NBC renewed his awful TV Show. How can NBC renew the clown's show after he pulled all such low-class shenanigans? Boycott NBC! Boycott advertisers of The Apprentice and Trump's other business's. Don't shop at any bullding with Donald Trump's name to include Trump Hotels, Casinos, Condo's, Offices, Shops! The Donald has expressed extreme Hatred towards gays and blacks with his birther remarks and anti-gay rhetoric. Remember how poorly Trump treated Rosie O'Donnel? Now we know why he did that! It was hate against a lesbian as we now know he is biget. Unforgiveable! Dump NBC because they re-newed Donald Trump's "The Apprentice"! Start Watching CBS Evening News and not NBC.

And Now, Model Wars!

Police investigating attack on Portland men as possible anti-gay bias
LGBTQ Nation - May 25, 2011

Police in Portland, Ore., are investigating what they called a possible bias attack against two gay men.
 
Brad Forkner, 23, and Christopher Rosevear, 25, told investigators they were attacked by several suspects on Sunday night while walking hand-in-hand in Waterfront Park, reported KPTV-TV.
 
As the pair walked, police say, they noticed several men behind them who were talking, laughing and pointing, but they weren't sure if it was directed at them.

Police say the attack happened as Forkner and Rosevear walked from the bridge to the trail toward the East Bank Esplanade.

The pair told officers the men pushed and punched Forkner before he managed to break away and call 911.

Police say the attackers hit Rosevear in the head, face, back and ribs before running off.

Forkner said he is most disturbed by the fact that bystanders on the bridge failed to respond to the attack, which took place while it was still light out.

Portland Mayor Sam Adams, who is openly gay, issued a statement Tuesday and said, "Any two people in Portland should be able to take a walk, hand in hand, without fearing for their safety."
Every gay and lesbian person who has been lucky enough to survive the turmoil of growing up is a survivor. Survivors always have an obligation to those who will face the same challenges."
