I hate that all sunscreen is water resistant. Just because I'm wearing sunscreen, doesn't mean I'm going to the beach. It makes it a bitch to wash off at night.

Is that neutrogena one waterproof? I like the bottle it comes in.

i dont see the point of wearing sunscreen all the time. It's not like you're going to get burnt instantly when the sun light or sun ray touches your skin.

i'll always be at least slightly in the sun, even for just a half hour.

also, it's pretty much routine. just do it every day.

i used to use MAC prep and prime 55+ face primer but now i dont wear foundation so it's just the city block.

I only wear it when I am going to be spending a while in the sun...When I do I wear that UV brand stuff, its awesome but very thick, I need it though because I have lily white skin (What is the point of being half greek when you got no level of olive skin). I also need the vitamin D.

For you maybe... i get burnt in a second and when it turns into a tan my skin always turns really blotchy.. So yes, i wear sunscreen nearly everyday, its more to keep my skin in good condition than anything else.

Yep. Cancer Council roll-on sunscreen to make it quick and easy. Every single day, even in winter. I burn like toast... hence the screen name.

You a ranga?


Anyway sif put it on everyday. I might if i like plan on staying in the sun without a shirt for a long time, like at the beach, but not normally. Spent 2hrs on a raft in a dam without any yesterday and didnt burn. Probably already have skin cancer though.

Not everyday..I have yet to find an oil-free suncreen which won't make my face break out with oil. Normal sunscreen makes my face all oily and it becomes nasty at the end of the day ;__;

Don't moisturisers also protect against the sun? I prefer those over sunscreen - too greasy on the skin.

Wearing sunscreen moisturiser every day protects your skin from sun damage. That doesn't necessarily mean sun burn.

I plan on having youthful, gorgeous skin for ages and ages. Tan be damned.

nah, moisturiser doesnt protect against sun damage or sunburn, it just keeps the skin hydrated.

even if you wear a moisturiser with sunscreen, i still think you should wear a thin layer of high spf over the top, because a lot of moisturisers have oil in them, which increases burning of your skin, just like sun tan oil.

though i sometimes wish i still had my freckles, theyve faded now that i never step into the sun without suncreen.
