The sun and I have never been close.

Sunblocks today are better than ever at blocking the sun and improving your skin at the same time, which is a good thing, because I think the sun is getting a little more powerful each day, and my skin is certainly getting a little older each day. Older and more wrinkly and damaged and leathery and... well, ecch.

That, combined with the sun's trying to get better at what it does, makes it all the more important to have good sunblock, sunblock that'll protect you even on the sun's most vicious days, days when the sun has gotten up on the wrong side of the bed and is just trying to beat you senseless with UV rays.

I'm a newcomer to this sunblock thing; for years and years I didn't pay attention to things like "protecting my skin from harmful radiation," 'cause that's for suckers. But I paid the price for it, in sunburns and painful summer days and now in prematurely aged skin. I'm only 40, but my skin is (as a best estimate) 300-years-old by now.

I've learned my lesson, though, and it's not too late to fight back (or at least prevent further damage), and I've started using the Sunblock reviews at BestSunBlock.com to help me in my battle against the sun. They post reviews there about which sunblocks worked under which conditions, and whether the stuff they use to help fight wrinkles and restore skin works, too, so I don't have to just pick something at random from the drugstore -- I can get the information I need to get the help I need.

And I need help, and so do you -- don't kid yourself. Even now, with winter coming on, it's still important to keep up to speed on what sunblocks work and what don't. Maybe you have a vacation coming, someplace sunny and warm (with an emphasis on the sunny). Or maybe you like to get outdoors in the winter, on a clear-skied, cold day where the sun can hit your frost-bitten cheeks mercilessly -- but either way you need sunblock year round, so you'll need information on which are best, year round.
