Nope, I don't. I'm already quite tanned 24/7 lol! Here in Hong Kong we get lots of sun. However, if I go get sun burnt or if the UV index is very high, then yes I would put on some sun scream.

I tan pretty easily and almost never burn, without sun cream ofc which is pretty much industrial waste anyway. Get plenty of midday sunlight (seek shade before you start to burn though, which will eventually take longer) don't use sun creams which are likely the cause of skin cancers, get good vitamin d levels and a good tan and enjoy yourself.

I burn pretty easily and sort of tan. Face and arms were fairly burnt after a few hours on the beach the other day and at Glastonbury last year mine and my friend's legs got so burnt we could barely walk. I was actually in agony whenever I tried to get up or sit down for the following two or three days.

I never really use sun cream, can someone explain what the different numbers mean?
