who wears sunscreen to uni? (1 Viewer)

[Born Dancer]

never. sunscreen is icky plus i'm never in a lot of sun

haha i was having this conversation with my very burnt cousin the other day who was complaining about his safety goggles tan line.

my response: well, you could just do what i do, stay indoors!
*very unimpressed glances from my sports frenzied relatives

Neutrogena one gave me pimples. Kit 30+ is good.

but Olay sunscreens are chemical sunscreens - apparently they aggravate free radicals and cancer causing cells

Yeah sounds like bullshit. Olay might cause cancer, but the sun definitely causes cancer. I'll take my chances with the lotion.

 

[Tofuu]

I do!

All year round - I'm a bit of a sunscreen nut. Just my arms, shoulders, chest, neck and face. I really don't want to get tanned.

correct me if i'm wrong, but, i don't sunscreen is meant to keep you from getting a tan

 

[GUSSSSSSSSSSSSS]

i always wear sunscreen if i know ima gonna spend 1+ hr in tha sun

otherwise i only put it on when i have the time/can be bothered to

 

[katietheskatie]

this doesn't work if you plan in going in water though...

.. do you usually go swimming at uni?

ladies and gentlemen of the class of '97... wear sunscreen. if i could offer you only one tip for the future sunscreen would be it. the long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I wear Invisible Zinc on my face everyday even in the winter, because even if it's sunny I'll prob still get slightly pink without it. I've tried other sunscreens but none of them were non greasy as they claimed, but I've found Invisible Zinc to be really good and it's also a pretty good base under makeup.

I'm thinking about trying Invisible Zinc. I find on hot days sun cream melts/sweats off me - what is the consistency like?

It's quite a thick cream but I've found that it stays on quite well as it absorbs nicely into my skin.
I think the Woolworths Select brand do a similar product for half the price, but I haven't tried it.

the only sunscreen i generally wear is the my moisturiser I have with sunscreen in it
But i am going to start putting it on my arms in summer too i think cos they are always tanned and i am starting to get moles on them. I do not want them turning to cancer!

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

yeah so I just went out in the 43 degree sunshine for an hour and a half with no sunscreen

totally getting skin cancer

i forgot all about it til I got out of my car. oh well

You get slightly pink in winter? Are you albino? (srs question). The sun isn't very strong in winter.

I don't wear sunscreen unless I'm going to be in the sun for more than about 20 minutes. wearing sunscreen everyday can lead to vitamin D deficiency.
Also I hope all you people are using one that blocks UVA as that's what causes melanoma.

Nope, I'm not albino, but I'm pretty pale. I also use benzoyl peroxide to prevent acne which makes the skin on my face more susceptible to sunburn.
I don't wear sunscreen *every* day, but to uni I do because I'm usually outside a lot.
