Well you should. You don't wanna get skin cancer.

My dad was lucky though, olive skin and he never had to wear the suntan lotion and never got burned.

There is spf 45 and spf30 or any spf you want also for oil-free, so it doesn't protect you from the sun any worse, but it will be better for your skin on your face, which you don't want to put oil on.

Get some specifically for the face so it won't hurt your eyes.

Post by: Ulli on June 30, 2008, 09:40:14 AM: I never use sunblock. The last time I have used it as a child.

I am a very lightcoulored type, but it seems to be that I am half-immune. ;D

Post by: Masha on June 30, 2008, 09:51:43 AM: I saw some recent information about the fact that sunblock is supposed to be bad for you (cause cancer?). Sorry, I can't give a link - I don't remember where I saw it. It said that the best thing is to allow yourself to tan naturally and gradually over a course of many days. Something like 10 minutes in the sun one day, 15 min. the next, etc...

It might help that you're in your ancestral homeland. Maybe if I lived in Europe I wouldn't burn as much either. However it's still better to wear sunblock because skin cancer can be really scary.
