Do you use sunblock or tanning oil?

Tanning oil is very bad for your skin. Kentucky Fried People comes to mind along with melanoma. I have always used a lot of sun screen along with wearing protective cloths. People thought I was weird for wearing long sleeve shirts in the summer. But it kept the sun off me as well as the dirt. Gardening can be such a dirty job when you do it eight to twelve hours a day. We found a brand three years ago that was great. It is called something like Adblock. I am going blank right now. It was more expensive then the other brands but a little bit goes a long way. Last year it was cheaper then the other breands so we bought several bottles but they are all on my father in laws boat.

I use tanning oil with SPF protection in it so that I can get some color without burning. I use sunblock on my face because I don't want to age any quicker than necessary. I use sunblock and plenty of it on my son who received his daddy's fair skin.

I use sunblock as well, well... usually I use it. I do forget to sometimes, most the time I don't spend a whole lot of time out in the sun, but I got a pretty bad sunburn a few weeks ago while swimming several days in a row for like an hour at a time. So it's definitely smart to use sunblock, I am so pale to start with that I get very burnt. I am ok now, I am no longer bright red and I'm not peeling or having sore skin anymore. Which is a relief, but I was sore for several weeks after my burn.

I have undergone 6 IPL treatments so far and it's a must for me to wear sunblock. My previous dermatologist also prescribed me their sunblock because I had facial treatments before. I cannot go out these days without applying it. Plus my friend says too much sun exposure does make one look old quickly so one has to apply sun protection.

I am totally a sun block person. My heritage is German, Scottish, Welsh, English and Welsh... I don't stand a chance. I don't tan, I freckle!
