Do you use lotion when you go sunbathing?

Question

DJB72 · Accepted Answer

Nope. Simple research shows since sunblock was developed the level of melanoma has increased, not decreased.

Why rub artificial chemicals onto the largest organ in your body, developed by using byproducts of petrochemicals, and expect it to work better than the melanin your body naturally produces with exposure to sunlight.

Additional fun fact, sunblock can dramatically reduce the vitamin D you produce as a result of exposure to the sun, which allows your body to absorb calcium and boost your immune system.

I'm not a big sun worshiper and hardly ever sun bathed. But the last time I was out in the sun we did put suntan lotion on. But now it's sunscreen 🧴 lotion. Bummer!

Nikki1989 · Accepted Answer

I avoid direct sun at all costs. I love the beach and the outdoors in general, but I make sure I am in the shade.

Massageman · Answer

Only if I am going to be out in high sun for more than a half-hour.

EzraIsShy76028 · Answer

Not sure about the difference between "lotion" and "sunscreen."

But either way, I'd say lotion probably not, but sunscreen most definitely yes.

My skin is literally like 10x more sensitive than the average person's, not sure if autism and hypersensitivity also play a part in it for me, but either way, sunburns hurt A LOT for me. Like so much I can barely move. Other people think I'm exaggerating, but I'm really, really not!

FreyaRed · Answer

Yes. With titanium dioxide or zinc oxides. I'm not sure about lot of other organic filters used in sunscreen. Some of them have been banned despite those were "safe" over decades before.

I don't get sunburn without sun cream but I find tanning looks better when sun exposure is weaker. Especially lot of UVB exposure seems to increase skin cancer risk.

Always. I love the sun I love the water.. I have a boat and on the weekends. I would always go to the lake. And I used to just get the best hand ever for the last past 2 years. I haven't really done anything in summertime. But I need to start again. And yes when I'm in the Sun. I need that lotion that is for sure

TheRealPepperPotts · Answer

Tanning is so bad for your skin! :( I personally wear sunscreen always, winter or summer, and I try to wear long sleeves and hats unless it's simply too hot.

D_Bone_Steak · Answer

I use that 100+ sunscreen. Turns out I still tan but at least I don't turn into a red lobster that is going to shed my skin like a snake in 3 days. Just lotion alone... ah hell no.

Real funny story. While at the beach with my boyfriend I accidentally spilt the tub all over my boobs. Next thing I know my boyfriend has dragged me back to the camper van and is covering my tits in his own cream

pierre7i · Answer

Not always, but if it's at a clothes optional/nude beach I definitely do and rub it into my you-know-what, can't have that sunburned !

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I don't sunbathe - but also don't avoid the sun. After 21 years in the tropics I am adapted. Still have some sun blocker, but it's many years old now :)

dustybiker2 · Answer

I can't use sunscreen (chemical allergies) and I never was one to go out to tan.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

Of course I do. I’m a Florida native who knows what the sun can do!

Likes2drive · Answer

I definitely use sunscreen if I’m going to be out in the sun for awhile, I don’t really go out to sunbathe, I burn too easy and it ages your skin faster
