As I’ve become accustomed, I called Carmela from Dulles. She had important news to share. This time of year I’ve always written about sunscreens, sunblocks and the importance of slathering on the SPF. Mel, always the careful sunscreen wearer, will enter her nineties with nary a wrinkle. Alarmed at the sight of two new freckles, she visited her dermatologist where she learned that SPF is not enough.

It appears that sunscreens must have titanium dioxide to block UVA and UVB light, saving us from premature age spots and freckles (not to mention skin cancer). The recommended product is from Neutrogena. Save your skin and buy some!

“Tell everyone you know!” said Carmela, 1,600 miles away and still looking out for me, and for the rest of us.
