What do you do to protect yourself from the sun?

I use an umbrella with UV filters. I don't like using SPF lotions very much because it feels greasy / sticky, even the oil-free types. There's a new SPF product in the form of a spray but I haven't tried that one, it's quite expensive here.

Hi Sender, I have been to a place where temperature rises up to 55 deg Celsius,just imagine what it would do to our skin if you come out in the sun.A friend of mine who is a Skin specialist once told me,too much exposure is really bad but we cannot just stay indoor all the time,so here's the tip.Use a sunblock with SPF above 50 (use a specific sunblock cream for the face & for the body).And if going for a swim,once you came out of water,apply the sunblock cream again.hope this helps...

summertime is very hot in my country and i always bring folded umbrella with me, thats why i also bring big bag so i can put it inside together with my other things. i normally bring umbrella whether its rainy days or summertime. i also wear sunglasses to protect my eyes.

There are some ways in protecting oneself from the sun. You can use sunblock or lotions that has SPF. And also, avoid the sunlight as possible or dont go out your house or the place you are in if you dont really need to go out.

Well, I am not a fan of the heat and I am quite fair skinned so I avoid going out in the sun as much as I can. But if I have to, I wear sunscreen (SPF 15 or 30 usually), try to stay in the shade, wear a hat, drink water and avoid going out between midday and 2pm if possible.

i will using sunblock or wearing clothes that cover the body but instead use a thin material in order to fell confortable.

grrr hi sender my first attempt went somewhere and left me with a big blank screen.lol so am now trying to resurrect from memory here. I am very fair,anemic in fact,white skin, so sunburn very easily. So I wear bulldog sunblock in a 30 on my skin that is open to the sun and in hot weather most of our skin gets bared. I hate getting sunburned as the damage it does to your skin will show up in later years. I now have brown spots on my arms, they are not liver spots as that just nonsense, they come from being sunburned too often. I repeat the sunblock every few hours if we go down to NewPort beach.I am in Southern California where yuo can get sunburned on a cloudy day at the beach. Sunscreen is the only way to stay unburned and happy with no pain.

I live in a very hot place so all the time of the year, unless it's rainy season, I protect myself from the sun. I protect myself from the sun by: 1) using sunblock whenever I go to the beach, or has to be under the sun for a very long time 2) I use lotion with SPF for daily use. 3) I wear jacket/hoody whenever I go out/under the sun (like walking, or traveling) then take it off when in the building 4) Sometimes I also use an umbrella.

Nivea Sunblock really works...
