Poll: Do you use sunscreen?

[Trololo Punk]

I should be a lot more than i do, me and my red hair, also, medicine doesn't help either

 

[LadyMint]

On occasion, though not as often as I should. I've been told that you should wear sunscreen even when it's cloudy (because clouds don't prevent the sun's rays from fully reaching the Earth's surface, hence the daylight), but I've never actually put any on during a cloudy day. I also spend most of my time indoors avoiding the sun. I have light brown skin, and when I get darker in the sun it honestly looks like I covered my face and arms in soot rather than getting a nice, even cook. So I prefer to stay shaded as much as possible.

I used to wear sunscreen a lot when I lived in the Rocky Mountains, though. Even in the winter.

Definately. In fact, if I could offer you one tip for the future sunscreen would be it:


And you'll fantasise that when you were young; mods were reasonable, threads weren't repetitive and users respected each others opinions.

Very rarely. I use nature's sunscreen, it's called a tan. If I'm going to be out in the sun all day, without having been in the sun enough to get a good tan, then I will use sunscreen. Otherwise, I don't see the point. A tan works just as well, and it isn't oily, it doesn't cost money, and it doesn't leach any chemicals into my bloodstream either.

 

[Vonnis]

No, I just avoid the sun altogether.

 

[AngryMongoose]

I generally don't go out enough to use sunscreen. When I do, I use the highest factor one that isn't annoying.

 

[Hero in a half shell]

I look like I belong in Twilight, so I can choose between burning up in the sun like a vampire should or HQ sunscreen, usually the latter.

Yeah, but thanks to Meyers Vampires don't burn in sunlight any more, they *SpArKlE*!

I live in the British Isles, what is this sun you speak of?

 

[Shockolate]

Only if I know I'll be outside for more than 2 hours.

I'm starting to develop a farmer's tan, so I've been using it less and less.

 

[elbrandino]

I said yeah, the one that lasts longest. But I only use sunscreen sometimes. I don't burn easily. Which is odd because I'm white as hell.

 

[FamoFunk]

Once of twice - on really hot days where I can *feel* I need to put some or my arm skin will fall off.

Living in Wales I can say this really doesn't happen often.

 

[SckizoBoy]

Nope... because I don't let the sun touch my skin. *hiss*

But still, I actually tan rather well (even if I haven't for... well, years...)

 

[Wadders]

Nope. I'm English so sun is rare here anyways.

I sometimes wear it when its hot enough here to or when on holiday, but most of the time I forget. I rarely burn anyway, being of a darker complexion.

I'm probably gona get cancer anyway, so fuck you sun, do your worst.

 

[thylasos]

I've not had cause to use sunscreen for years, to be honest.

I don't really go on holiday, and if I do, I tend to be in a museum rather than on a beach...

As it is, living in the UK, and having a job indoors, I don't really need to worry that much about getting sunburnt.

 

[Avistew]

I don't use it if I'm just walking out to buy bread or something, but if I'm going to be in the sun I use the maximum protection. I have super white skin and don't tan, but I get sunburnt easily, and it stays burnt like a month then my skin falls off. It sucks.

Also, I've had a sunburn on my eyes before. I thought maybe it was pinkeye or something and the doctor was like, nope, it's a sunburn. It hurts like hell and you can't put all the creams you can on your skin, so wear sunglasses and stay away from places where the sunlight reflects a lot.

 

[Mister Eff]

Yes. How do you think I've gone my entire life without sunburn while maintaining a nice tan. Factor 20 all the way.
