do you wear sunscreen every day?

[HeadFairy]

I'm currently working outside a lot and I've been getting quite a bit of sun, which I guess in a few years time will = quite a few wrinkles. Thing is I've got loads of really bad pigmentation patches from my pregnancy which show no sign of going so I wear foundation every day, without it I'd look very strange. So my question is how can I reapply sunscreen if I've got foundation on without having to reapply the foundation all the time as well? the foundation does have an SPF15 but as I'm getting rather tanned it would seem that's not enough. Is there a good daily facial sunscreen I can put on just once a day in the morning?

ah now let me tell you a story
i am a sun lover
but i am doing a lesosn for Y9 on suncare and i watched a vid on youtube in prep called

"dying for a tan" ill wanr oyu aFTER 10 MINS IT IS GROSS

and this week i have become HYSTERICAL suncream user for me and the boys - have started putting on my clinique facial suncscreen UNDER my foundation( dont trust cosmetics wiht spfs in)

stil slap on saint tropex frt he brown look
also got a superdrug tiny own brand facotr 30 tube to keep in handbag

lesson allready = kids very intersted so far,

so my line ot the ones asking hwat we were doign next week was

" oh girls donw you wear sunscren everyday"

and produced a suncream in my bag...

I think factor 15 is fine if you aren't burning, but just tanning. A tan is our natural defence against UV rays.

As for the sun making the skin look more aged, I don't think suncream helps prevent that anyway.

base tna gives you an spf of 4

oh sun really ages the skin! deffo

oh god that film is so sad, the guy at the end working out what to say to his boy. That nearly finished me off. The guy who lost the arm is shocking too.

I'm usually pretty good when sunbathing. I don't really have the patience to sit and fry for hours, and I usually do wear sunscreen, probably not high enough spf though. I do remember burning a couple of times as a child, but not that often. My mum grew up in Argentina and was always in the sun so she's obssessed about moles and freckles. She's got cataracts now from being in the sun for so much time.

I will definitely start using sunscreen under my foundation, I'm not sure it'll last the day, esp if it's a bit hot and I'm sweating. I've got some brilliant stuff recommended to me by a make up artist called Daily Face, it's Austrialian funnily enough and is spf 60, but it says to reapply frequently. Not that easy with foundation on.

yes i will NOT NOT NOT be shwoign the arm to the kids

you need 3 tbsp for a whoel body
and one tube shoudl ony lat you 6 apps

Why aren't you going to show the arm bit ?? Yeah it is gross, but that is the point.

Have to say that I am awful wrt applying suncream, and I get bad sunburn on my back and shoulders every year.

That video definatly got my attention and gave me a good shock into being alot more careful.

its crap isn tit
i cant hsow the arms
ill get complaints

(some fuckign mner!)

the arm is what would convince my 14 year old self to stop frying!

oh lordy lord.

we need a vote

( thinking of kdis in 10 eyars time being on mn saying" this teacher showed me a scabby arm")

I wouldn't complain if either of my dd's were shown that video, and they are aged 10 and 8.

well I went to convent school, we were shown anti abortion films ten times worse than that so I'd vote yes to the arm.

LOL

lol yes to the arm

....no.

the kiddies do.......I don;t (except whatever is in my ace cream and foundation), and I burn badly too, so I should, I know I should!!!

i rarely wear sunscreen but my dcs always do. i dont wear it as i rarely (if ever) burn and im fairly dark skinned with very few freckles and moles so that puts me in the lowest risk factor right?

i always wear it abroad but only lower factors!

watch the vid

not normally.

i have olive skin and live in W. Scotland and have no wrinkles.

but i have been since falling pregnant because i don't want to get that horrible discolouration/pigmentation patches that develop in pregnancy.

expat, I got pg in winter and still got them! the sun does make them worse though... had soooo much dermabrasion and they're still there grrr
