Sun Cream.... Do You Wear it?

To be honest, I only put on sunscreen if I'm going to the beach or some place where I might get so much sun that I'll burn. I'm not typically out in the sun long enough to get a burn, so I don't bother. By the way, have you looked into the new research coming out regarding vitamin D deficiency? Research is showing that the increased use of sunscreen is causing vitamin D deficiency in epedemic proportions. Very interesting. The new advice is to have moderate unprotected sun exposure, the operative word here is MODERATE.

I don't really wear those..but I think all of us need to. I heard in a tv show that we need to put sun screen to protect our skin....we should use like those with spf 15 or something..sun screen or cream is very useful these days since it's summer- to protect us from uv rays..

To be honest I don't usually put it on. I tend to not burn very easily and I get a good base tan really quick. I will put some on the very tops of my shoulders and under my eyes where my skin is really sensitive.

When I was younger, I stayed out of the sun. I knew some people who were avid sun worshippers and even went to the salons to get tanned in the winter months. Their skin looked terrible! An otherwise beautiful 40ish woman had skin that looked like old, wrinkled leather. Her skin looked like it was 100 years old. It was gross! Now that I am older, I do often try to tan in the sun, but not without protection. A couple years back when I began walking to exercise I did not wear any sun screen on my body and noticed a leathery look and feel to my skin, even in the late winter! I did not think an hour or so a day would harm me, but I was wrong. Now I am stocked up on the sun screen and wear it whenever I go into the sun. Wearing sun screen is very important; without it, the rays from the sun can harm your skin and can cause skin cancer. Please tell your friends to wear the sun screen; it is better to put it on than to deal with skin cancer later in life, or an elderly looking face and body when you are in the prime of your life.

Sometimes I wear sunblock but not always, according to beauty experts, they claim that when we use umbrella to protect our skin from the sun it is only 8% safe compared to the protection that we get if we use sunblock on our skin.

i use it whenever i go out to protect my skin..

hi Rosie230. this is interesting. i personally do not really support too much sunscreen when i was younger. that is because my skin still could withstand the heat of the sun. however when i grew older i learned the harmful effects of the rays of the sun. UVA and UVB. getting a tan is my least interest, though. also i've learned that too much exposure to the sun can cause wrinkles. and wrinkles do not only imply old age, it also i s a manifestation that your skin in unhealthy. now, i try to protect my skin as much as i can from the more dangerous sun. the climate is changing, and from where i am from, instead of decreasing the temperature it is hiking up. i use umbrella just to shield myself. and i use body lotion with SPF 30 and facial cream or moisturizer with SPF 30-50. going to the beach is not the only venue for us to use such products. it takes a little discipline and effort for us to protect our skin. =) happy summer and happy mylotting. =)

To be honest i do not stay out in the sun much as i tend to burn even with sun cream on so i do not even wear sun cream.However i do make sure that my children always wear it as i hate to think of them in pain aswell as in the future them having or getting skin cancer.There are alot of people that end up in hospital in the summer as all they do is lay out in the sun and end up burnt aswell as sun stroke.

I know I should but most of the time I don't remember. Also sun creams are a bit more pricey than regular creams so if the budget is tight we don't buy any.

Actually i do becasue i dont want to get sunburned a lot at the beach or when i am taking a walk on a hot day. Don't you think you schould wear it?
