Protect Your Skin By Rick Ankrum, on June 30, 2009, 5:30 pm It’s summer and in Texas that means lots of sun and this year even more than usual. In southeast Texas we have been setting temperature records which means plenty of sun. My dermotologist recommends at a sunscreen with a SPF55 or more. The only one I have found with this number or more is Neutrogena UltraSheer Dry Touch Sunblock. I found this at Wal-Mart in a 3.0 ounce tube for $9.92. This sunblock is up to the Texas heat and humidity.

- Non-melanoma skin cancer risk (basal and squamous cell skin cancers) is increased by cumulative sun exposure over a lifetime.
- Recent data show that a single sunburn may cause a melanoma.
- It appears that blond and blue-eyed people need less sun exposure to make vitamin D. People with dark skin, or those who become very dark when they tan need far more sun exposure to make vitamin D.

About Texbiker.net Texbiker.net covers the news, events and resources for those interested in Texas bicycling.
My bicycling passion was rekindled in 1979 with a Huffy bicycle from Woolco. From early rides around my neighborhood my enthusiasm grew to tackle my unsupported first century. From there I discovered organized rides all over Texas, races and mountain bikes. Many bikes and miles later the enthusiasm is still there.
Thanks to my wife, Hazel Marie, for her support over the many years, miles and rides.
In 1999 Texbiker.net was born to help my fellow bikers have ready access to all of the information about the Texas bicycling scene.
