You can buy moisturisers that have a like SPF 15 in them, less greasyier than normal sunscreen.
i use it, and there are many non perfumed ones out there and male moisturisers so you dont have to worry about smelling like a girl. ::

Yeah thats true my mum spent most of her teen years in the sun to dry up her acne and it's resulted in a brown blemish around 3-4cm in length and 2cm wide on her face.

It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.
Too bad I never get to use the hose.

I replied to this thread last night by mentioning my hubby and my daughter.. My dad has just been on the phone (he was at the doctors today) he is being sent to hospital to have tests for skin cancer ::::
He works outside all the time, he paints buildings for a living, he thought it was ok to skip the sun cream, he is kicking himself now though and wished hed used it

With the weather getting warmer in the UK, the number of red-skinned people walking about increases by the day.
For those of you who care about minimising wrinkles, burns and risk of cancer:
Even in very overcast days you could get sunburnt from strong light reflected by the clouds. Infact they reflect light more in everywhichever direction so it feels like there's more light in your eyes. I wear sunscreen when it is very bright from direct sunlight or cloud reflections.
SPF 15 protects against 93% of UVB rays, SPF's higher than 30 block only 4 percent more UVB. So SPF above 30 doesn't do much more.
Make sure to get a sunscreen with protection against both UVA (wrinkling and photoaging) and UVB (sunburn and cancer causing) rays. A good sunscreen would tell you that on the back. I use a tinted, oil free sunscreen that is SPF 30 that doesn't have a white cast.
