do please be careful all you people who go sunbathing, watch out for skin cancer, slop on the suntan lotion and slap on a hat, i dont tan i just burn so i always cover up.
Aww BP, you're starting to sound like my mum now mate. I thought you used to be a hardcore biker?
At half an hour in the sun, you shouldn't burn. If you're sunbathing, look at what it the minimum effective dose to cause a melatonin release, and never exceed that. If you do, you'll burn. That burn will stop you out tanning regularly. While the person holding to their minimum effective dose will be able to go out again and again for that time period and enjoy a much better tan.
To be fair, even though I am ripping BP for sounding like an old lady, he does make a fair point and if you are tanning (not possible at the moment without the aid of a sunbed or international holiday) then you should be safe and use suntan lotion.
Remember though, factor 50 is not only sunproof, it's also bullet proof!!! I opt for a 30-35. But like I said before, I'm living it large!!! haha
