Default re sun block sun glasses

I agree re sunglasses and have worn them during sun and even not during day esp. since laser eye surgery in 2000.

Re sun screen~ my dermatologist says I definately need at least 45 block as I have actinic Keratosis and both my parents developed skin cancer on their face (Dad had it on arms, face, head, ears, legs, ..) Mom had 5 mohs treatments on her nose for skin cancer ( I think this was squamous cell).

I was also advised to wear a hat to block the sun from my face (broad rimmed) and do this sometimes. I should do it much more than I do. I have seen older women with wonderful skin who of course probably are genetically inclined to have this type of skin but also protect their skin with hats and even parasols sometimes!
