What's a sun shower? I must be behind the times. I've never heard of them.

I went to Turkey a couple of years ago. I used SPF50 went out on a boat & came back like a lobster. I used the same lotion as my little'un & he was fine!!! It depends on your skin type.

Like a big walk in sun bed room were you stand up instead of lieing down.

I also agree sunbeds and sun showers aren't the healthiest of things but I don't suit milk bottle white, so I'll cream up well and keep using them and worry about the effects when I'm old and wrinkly!

I'm already old and wrinkly so I'm past worrying by now.

Old and wrinkly comes a lot sooner than you think.......and believe me, when it does come.....you don't like it! Well, I don't anyway.

I prefer to stay pale and interesting. If I am ever tempted by sunbeds, I just look at 'before and after' pictures of Brigette Bardot (sp?). I probably don't look right being so pale, but I wuldn't look right being haggard and wrinkly before my time either.

My neighbours must think I'm strange because I don't sit out in the sun the minute it appears. I prefer to stay indoors with all the windows open. I have burnt too many times & learned my lesson

I love to sit in the sun and hate being cold. I really shouldn't be living in this country. I do take care to cover myself in some good suncream factor 15 and above. When abroad I will usually get under a sunshade for a while.

I tend to find that suncreams make good moisturisers and always wear SPF 15 on my face, even in winter, or a moisturiser containing SPF.

I got a decent tan in Spain recently but I always put cream on;and a tan intensifier by Piz Buin;it's expensive but keeps the tan for longer and moisturises too.My daughter had factor 60 on some days;20 and 25 on other and still her scalp got burnt when she was in the pool.Not much you can do about that really as her hat kept floating off!

I have a load of sunbed sessions that a mate bought me for Xmas,I will use them eventualy but it's not the same as a good bask!

Well i must say my arms are looking pretty tanned with the sun around but after being on the sunbed my chest is a bit sore and a bit red. That'll teach me.

I'm sorry to hear about your friend mick, you never really think about the consequences until it happens.

I didn't have any lotion or cream on cos it never occured to me but if I were to go on the sunbed or sun shower again then I will make sure I use sun lotion.

Thanks for all the advice
