The 15 Sunscreen Mistakes You're MakingThese skin care tips will show you how not to be a repeat offender of sunscreen slip-ups |

I usually wear sunscreen on my face everyday, but now I guess I should start incorporating hats.

As being sunscreen conscious is the best defense we have against the signs of aging it is important that we learn all we can and use the information!

I agree that sun protection is very important, but is sun really THAT bad? I live in a cold place where it's hardly ever sunny and I usually don't wear any protection. Let's be realistic, everybody is making these mistakes. There are so many rules that we are just not able to follow all of them.
