Sun cream alternatives?

Use a proper Sun cream. Get one that specifically is non greasy. Probably best to look for a kids one if you are not liking the normal ones.
 
No-one mentioned mustard yet? I am disappoint.

On a serious note, use the skin of your enemies. Flay it off them and wear it like a second skin. Literally.

Or use sun cream.

I just sunbathe for like 45 minutes each side for the first session of the year, then build it up, 1 hour next time etc.

After about a week, like for example today after this spell, you will build up a tan and you can pretty much stay outside for hours on end.

I been out in the garden sunbathing from about half 10 till about 4pm.

Don't get burned and no suncream.

Yup probably going to get skin cancer.
 
I’m probably going to get skin cancer as got loads of moles (thanks mum) and can’t wear strappy tops anymore as got badly sunburnt. Any sun on my shoulders itches.

Got a couple of questionable moles which i will mention when I see a GP next week for a medication review
 
No - follow the fashion icon - he might be a bad dictator, but ...

I am in Italy at the moment and it’s roasting. I looked at this stuff but because i hasn’t heard off it I opted for p20 spf 30.

It’s not all spf either you need to look at the star rating too .
 
Use better sun cream.

I use nothing but this. Found long ago to avoid "Creams" and go for Gels. They soak in and leave no residue, definitely not greasy.

Just found a review.

Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen SPF 50 - Review - Ebun & Life

If you're looking for a sunscreen that offers very high broad spectrum protection from UVA and UVB rays, you should try the Altruist SPF 50.
blog.ebunoluwole.com blog.ebunoluwole.com

"Sunscreen Filters
It’s a hybrid sunscreen with a mix of both physical and chemical filters. Altogether, it has eight advanced filters, which are probably one of the best you’ll get in any sunscreen. The SCCS, the European Cosmetics Safety Organisation, has also thoroughly vetted these filters. They include;

  • Nano Titanium Dioxide
  • Octocrylene
  • Avobenzone
  • Tinosorb A2B
  • Tinosorb
  • Uvinul T 150
It also offers broad-spectrum protection. This means that it protects your skin from both UVA and UVB rays. SPF50 blocks 98.3% of UVB rays while the UVA rating has five stars, a PPD of 54, the highest in any European sunscreen. La Roche Posay Anthelios Invisible Fluid SPF 50+, probably the best European sunscreen, has a PPD of 46.

So, if you burn easily or have a family history of skin cancer, you should get this sunscreen."

The tan is your body's reaction to too much sunlight.

The Risks of Tanning

The risks, symptoms, and treatments associated with medical conditions as a result of tanning.
www.fda.gov www.fda.gov

"Sun Tan
What it is:

There is no such thing as a safe tan. The increase in skin pigment, called melanin, which causes the tan color change in your skin is a sign of damage.

Why it happens:

Once skin is exposed to UV radiation, it increases the production of melanin in an attempt to protect the skin from further damage. Melanin is the same pigment that colors your hair, eyes, and skin. The increase in melanin may cause your skin tone to darken over the next 48 hours.

Symptoms:

Skin tones that are capable of developing a tan, typically skin types II through V, will probably darken in tone within two days.

The Bottom Line:

Evidence suggests that tanning greatly increases your risk of developing skin cancer. And, contrary to popular belief, getting a tan will not protect your skin from sunburn or other skin damage. The extra melanin in tanned skin provides a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of about 2 to 4; far below the minimum recommended SPF of 15."

Education about the sun and it's damage is pretty crap in this country. People see the sun comes out and take off all their clothes :p but if you look at all the other countries that gets lots of sun, they cover up, they wear long sleeves, they use an umbrella for shade.

I remember in the summer, the weather report at night will warm people to avoid going outside between say 11am to 3pm during the summer due to the heat and sun. Nobody would purposely go get a tan, getting a tan is not a sign of being healthy. In fact, it's actually a class divide. That you have to work outside, like a construction worker or delivery driver etc as opposed to lawyers etc who are in an office, inside. Having a tan is seen as being less than. They have some weird beliefs but the point is, tan is not good.
