I don’t like lying out in the sun but I like to go to a lake and swim in it or playing in the water. In this case I need to protect my skin from UV rays so I use sunscreen.

Hey !

I burn easily, never lie out in the sun.. think im allergic to the sunlight.;)

U know, the sun ages your skin more than anything else and the study about sunscreen is really confusing, so i m really more careful about sunscrean, Some hats and sunglasses have worked well for me.

Although it is advisable i rarely use sunscreens ,mostly because i prefer while i am on the beach to stay under a shady spot . We people of white skin should avoid overexposure to the sun`s rays , not only we might be inviting a melanoma , also our skin from overdoing our sunbathes will developed freckles , spots and early signs of aging. All this information is on the internet .Let`s enjoy the sun and at the same time take preventive measures to stay away from the skin doctor and the plastic surgeon. :)))))
