What factor sun cream do you wear?

[Posey]

Dh and I were talking about when we were kids and high factor sun cream was 8, and most of the time we wore SPF4 (we're both in our late 30s, so this was the 70s).
Now we routinely wear SPF30 and both of us have quite "tough" skins, not sensitive at all.

So what SPF do you wear?

It's called lying on your front, dear.

\linkwww.dfwblogs.com/pictures/hottub2.jpg\tried to fin a phot o fa osmone lying with theri legs itnhe air and found this instead!}{

found this in stead!!

i think i can see dc in there.

Some people should never be allowed near swimwear.

I knwo its not my colour.

Would be better in silver.

ooh dont talk bout my burny bits!! i ironed in the garden yesterday with my coconuts in a kini top! loads a sun lotion factor 15 reaplied every 20 mins but my back hurts as icouldnt reach round have found a great cd for housework though called angel beach [ibiza music]

Why were your coconuts in a bikini top? Shouldn't they be in the fridge or something?

bite my lip!![i wont say it i wont i wont]

Why do people not apply sun cream properly and then complain about being burnt? Bit obvious that you'll get burnt, isn't it?

Until this year I used 6 or 8 but have become quite paranoid about the sun and burning so I won't go below 15 now.

Kids wear 30 or above.

DH should also wear 30 beacuse he burns really easily but will only wear 15. Silly man.

AAA what wont you say? Or was that post designed to get me to ask just that? In that case, forget I asked.

hd! it was regards to coconuts and fridge and how soothing but you never heard me say it as it may be constude as flirting and im a good girl iam

I did say forget I asked.

i tried honest i did i shall leave now and go do something useful

Going to start another thread, then?

I have pale blue skin that goes white after a week then pink after the second week.
As a kid we used Scholl sun oil. It was factor 2 and really oily - left a slick in the water! Anyone remember that?? The number of times I had horrible sunburn on holiday & peeled. I hated my brother - he always went brown.

Nowadays I am very cautious. In UK & Europe, SPF30, in Asia/Aus I always used SPF50 or total block.

DD has UV swimsuit and factor 30 when we were in Spain last month. We also had a beach tent and followed the spaniards - early morning on the beach , back for a long lunch and siesta, then back on the beach at 5-6pm until late. It was great - no one got burnt!

to be honest hd im too scared too lol! keep thinking before i type[not like me] and its hard

Silly question, maybe. Why use different strengths of suncream depending on country you are in? Surely the UV and sun power is just as strong here now?

I wear the strongest i can find i have factor 100 this year for DS, i put it on but dont see the point how ever much i wear i get burnt

They do factor 100 now? Excellent, I'll get some. I know you're supposed to put cream on every 30 mins and before and after swimming but I still burn like a piece of bacon under the grill.

SPF15 for me
SPF50 Block for DH, DS1, DS2 & DD

Its a baby suncream happyDaddy - but its the strongest i could find, DS hasnt got burnt - hes got a fab tan though
Im brown but thats only arfter bieng painfully burnt by faulty Wilkinsons suncream

DH and the kids all wear 'baby' sunscreen, it's the only thing that'll protect their skin sufficiently.
