Protect your skin … protect your future.
As a young girl, I loved summer. Who doesn’t love fun in the sun and a beautiful tan?
Now, at the age of 41 and with years on the water, I have developed sun spots on my face and hands.
For those of us who spend time on the water in the summer and on the ice in the winter, the sun can be extremely damaging all year long. We all need to remember that the winter months are just as dangerous because of the sun’s reflection bouncing off the ice.
I have had 3 face peels, along with prescription creams from my dermatologist, to reverse the damage and none of these procedures have worked. So, please don’t wait until the damage is done. Protect yourself early in life.
The only product I use and recommend is Zinc. I use the generic brand from Walgreens, “Clear Zinc”
Broadband Spectrum SPF 50. This product must be applied every 75-to-80 minutes.
Just remember, after you apply the cream, wash your hands with a scent-removing hand soap before you touch any of your baits and continue fishing.

It is highly neccessary to use zink or similar when on the water. When you go fishing often it is hard on your skin.
