In particular, BABY BOOMERS are now paying for their fun in the sun. However, the majority of sun-worshipers are aware of what overexposing the skin to UV rays can do and they are trying to do something about that.
Over exposure is not a set amount of minutes that you expose your skin to UV rays, but rather, the amount of UV rays your skin can protect you from. Your skin is on your side and wants to protect you by producing melanin from you melanocytes. Melanin turns brown when it is exposed to UV rays. When your body has produced all the melanin it can and you are still exposing your skin, you will burn. Burning today can result in a cancer many years from now.
One of the ideas of protecting your skin from the sun is a product with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) that needs to be applied 30 minutes prior to going out in the sun and then continuously during the time that you are in the sun. Remember to put it on your ears and the part in your scalp; areas usually missed with normal application. Also rub on areas that are not being directly exposed to the sun as the rays can penetrate through your clothing.
Another idea is wearing clothing that was designed to protect your skin from UV rays. These items of clothing come with a UPF rating to describe how much UV radiation gets through the clothing. These apparal pieces are expected to last through 40 washings. Of course, wearing a turtle neck long sleeve shirt and long pants with UPF in the heat of summer is something to think about. And you would still need to cover your hands, face, ears, and scalp with SPF.
Finally, a smarter way..... a research drug that was designed by a major pharmaceutical company for erectile dysfunction and obesity, was discovered to have a positive side effect...it stimulated your melanocytes to produce more melanin than previously genetically possible and allowed the body to tan like never before. Melanotan II is still considered a research drug in the US but is sold over the counter in other countries. You can get your research Melanotan II or MTII to conduct your own research by contacting www.tantrahealthandbeauty.com. You're gonna love it. I have been loving it for two and a half years and my skin has never looked better, softer, younger and with a tan to write home about.

My friend left Saturday for a weeks visit with her sister in Belize. I heard from her today via email. She said they spent most of the day on the boat yesterday and she only got a little burned. She is very close to the equaitor there as compared to here; five hours from any coast line, and it was the first time her fair skin had seen the light of day this year.
I told her the best thing to do for overexposed skin is to take a tepid shower and NOT put moisturizer on. The moisturizer holds in the heat. I also suggested she take Tylonol and drink lots of water to hydrate her skin.
She started doing her research with MTII six (6) days prior to her departure and is keeping notes of her results along the way. I'll share that information with you when she gets back. I don't want to think what would have happen to her after a full day on the water had she not started with MTII before she left.

I don't need to remind you that I have sought out EVERY possible way to get a tan. Being fair skinned, blonde hair and blue eyes, it is not easy for my skin to have a chance to tan before it burned. Two years ago, I discovered MTII and to be quite honest with you, after the first vial, I thought I had bought snake oil. Nothing happened. I called the rep that sold it to me and he sort of laughed with understanding that everyone does not get that WOW response on the fifth day as anticipated. He convinced me to go ahead and continue using the additional vial I had purchased and before I could barely get the top off, I could see color in my face.....a lot...and it looked GOOD. I continued to use the second vial and by that time, I already had the best tan I had ever had in my life and I owned a tanning Salon for twelve years and could tan every day. It was nothing like this...even all over, no crease lines under my chin or arms or bottom, white palms and beautifully tanned hands, feet, elbows, knees and no tell tell white streaks down the sides. I mean even all over...EVEN MY EYELIDS. I can't find any information in my research but I can tell that my skin is MUCH tighter. I wonder if anyone else has gotten this effect after about the first year of continuous use? Anyway, I never need to get in the direct sunlight again. I get in the filtered sun around 4:00 in the afternoon and swim laps in the pool for an hour. I am still the same color all over. www.tantrahealthandbeauty.com

 The CDC has published rates for skin cancers by race as follows: White - 22 per 100,000 Asian - 4 per 100,000 Hispanic - 4 per 100,000 Asian/Pacific - 2 per 100,000 Black - 1 per 100,000 What this tells us is that the more melanin a person has in their epidermis the less chance they have for skin cancer. As a pharmacist I can tell you that skin cancers are not going to go away. Our love of the activities that take us into the great outdoors supercedes our fear of getting skin cancer. Oh sure, we put on our sun blocks when we go to the beach or play golf. But do we put on these sun blocks every time time go out side? Of course not. And because we don't the effect of sun exposure is accumulative. So what can a person do to increase the melanin in the epidermis? One way is to research a product called Melanotan II or MT II. This synthetic version of Melanocyte Stimulating Hormone (MSH) can genetically increase the amount of melanin in the skin.
