Sun Lotion

CliffyBiro · 3 Jun 2009 at 23:44

Am I the only one that doesn't wear sun lotion in this weather?

I don't think I've ever used it and today, a friend looked at me as if I had told her I'd done her mother. :confused:

Surely I'm not alone?

I'm not after medical advice by the way.

Nah, plenty of other people aren't worried about skin cancer.

I guess it really depends on how long you're planning on spending outside, and how sensitive your skin is to the sun.

I don't worry about skin cancer. But sunburn isn't a good look.

Bah, they said Pot Noodles cause cancer.

I haven't been wearing suncream, but I normally do wear some if I have it available.

And don't call me Shirley.

I don't burn very easily but I did fall asleep yesterday whilst lying on a summer seat. Woke up 2 hours later when I rolled off it.

I do tan pretty easily though.

Never really do, unless on a holiday on a beach where my mum insists I do.

Not such a big deal anyways, I don't get burnt that often, even though I'm pale white from not going out during the day, after like 5-6 hours in the sun I've got a nice and brown tan.

I wore it yesterday as we spend literally all day out in the sun but very often I'll not wear it. Without it I do have a tendency to burn though, as my skin is quite fair.

lol. To be fair I only use sunblock on my face, you can get sunburnt from just driving with the window down, it doesn't even have to be that hot.

It's OK, only gingers or gays need suncream.

ash_scotland88 · 4 Jun 2009 at 00:08

I dont wear it if Iam randomly out walking, eg the dog, in town with freinds. But if Iam actively sunbathing then, aye, I may put some on.

aceface57 · 4 Jun 2009 at 00:11

I'll wear some if i'm going to be out all day with little shade or at sea, but i don't really have fair skin anyway.

Not in England no.

Anything over factor 20 and zinc/titanium based is stupidly white. So, you can't really put it on your face without looking like a total bell.

I use it, the sun in this country can still hurt you, I use it for the fact nothing worst than sun burn and I have a lot of moles on my arm, takes seconds to put on and smells of holiday

That's a thing... I have a mole on my back, but as I don't feel the need to go topless, it's never been a problem...

I always use sun tan lotion in summer, I use retin A so my arms will burn to a crisp if I don't.
