Everyday? Or only when you feel like wearing sunscreen? Not at all?

Oh yea, absolutely! I just thought, does your Moochie stinks? Cause I have a Dashchund, his name is Sanmar, and he stinks as hell. Lol After bathing, it only lasts for a day or 2. Lol

No modstar,I nevr use a sun screen when going out in the hot sun,because of two reasons.Firstly I hate using it,and secondly I always forget to apply it while going out.Actually I live in a warm place and its hot all the year round,except when it rains.But I guess my skin has got accustomed to so much exposure to the sun,since in my childhood,sun screen lotions were not in vogue here,and hence I never used any.But now days I try to carry an umbrella when walking directly in the hot sun,as fas as possible......

hello modstar about the only time that i will apply any kind of sunscreen is when that i am laying out in the sun or when my family and myself might happen to be at a splash park, wave pool, swimming pool or at the beach somewhere. it is so important to apply sunscreen to your body when being exposed to the sun. and it is also important to re-apply the sunscreen during the day so keep from getting burned from the sun. they make about any kind of sunscreen that you would want to try these days. from Panama Jack suntan products to your local store brands of it. take care and have a beautiful evening.

I wear sunscreen everyday even when i do not need to go out in the sun. I usually apply body lotion with SPF 10-15 to my body after every bath. Duwing summer I try to apply a SPF20-30 sunscreen and tries to apply it every once in a while especially when I am out in the sun. I also apply sunscrren to my face, usually around SPF 20. We should be applying sunscrren to our skin as much as possible since the ozone layer has depleted so much, the sun's rays have been more and more dangeroud to human skin when exposed frequently.

I do not really wear sunscreen often. If I know I'm going to be outside for most of the day then I will put on something so I don't get burnt. My face burns really, really easily and my face gets rather dry and it hurts if I'm in the sun long so I try to wear a sunscreen on those days. I'm trying to get in the habit of wearing a face lotion with at least SPF 15 every day but sometimes it's a hard habit to break.

Yes, SPF 15 is a lower SPF that will protect you but SPF 30 or SPF 45 is a higher blockage to block the sun.

I really have no clue about SPF. The higher the SPF, the better?

I only wear sunscreen when i go swimming... although some say we should always put on... especially when we know that we will be under the sun for quite a long time... but in my case... i am just too lazy to do that...

I don't really wear it unless I know I'm going to be out in the sun for a long time. And then I only put it on my face. But my husband and son are very fair complected. I put it on my son almost every day. We spend a fortune in sunscreen.

When ever the UV index is 7 or higher and I will be outside a lot, I wear it.

How do you measure the UV index?

Weather.com will have a section which will tell you what it will be in your area for a particular day. It is a useful tool.

I never bro..I just refrain from exposing too much sun heat mostly from 8am to 4pm that is the critical time of the day as far sunscreen is concern..

Same here. I just stay away from the sun but i heard that UV rays are all over as long as the sunlight reaches it.

They mostly come in creams or lotions right? I don't like putting anything on my skin because it feels eeky, slimy, oily, and even warm. It only causes me discomfort because I am not used to it. Besides, I am really not so afraid of becoming black, so , no, I don't do sunscreens. Well, maybe health-wise, to avoid skin cancer, I might consider it but right now, I am not using any sunscreen.

I wear sunscreen everyday, sunny or not. Ever since I learned that the sun's rays still pass through the clouds during cloudy days, I never forget to put sunscreen everytime I have to go outside.

That's true. Ultraviolet rays doesn't necessarily mean the direct light touching our skin.

No,I don't go out exposing myself under the heat always.I'm always in the shadows.LOL!

Oh definitely, especially on my face. I do wear all the time sunscreen protection, thanks for my moisturizer, and my mineral makeup that has it already. Whether you are woman, guy, gay or even lesbian or bi, you need those, to prevent wrinkles. Sunscreen is 1 of the best products ever created.

I only wear sunscreen whn I am going to be out in the sun for an extended period of time. Mostly in the summer when we go to the beach or something like that. Other than that, I don't even think about sunscreen.

I don't wear it very often, only if I've been out in the sun for 5 or 6 hours and I feel my skin starting to get little hot. I rarely burn, I also look as If I am just roasting but I turn red, then my tan is there the next morning. My kids on the other hand, picked up some very fair skin, and they burn in an instant.

I wear sunscreen anytime I know I will be outside more than an hour. I put it on my kids too. My husband calls me a sunscreen freak. I may be a little obsesive about it, but none of my kids have ever had a sunburn. I had an aunt who had skin cancer and she scared into all of us to be more responsible about sun exposure. I love the new kinds they have now, especailly the spray on ones, they are fantastic for people with small kids....no rubbing it all in, just spray and go.

The spray is great. It keeps us away from greasy feeling.
