    You'd actually want to be careful doing that in Ireland as most of the time we don't get anywhere near the amounts if direct sunshine that other parts of the world get.

    You need sunlight to produce vitamin D and unnecessarily screening normal levels of light could make you deficient in it.
    And this is why drinking Guinness is good for you.

    I know there are still UV rays even when it doesn't look sunny but wearing lotion every day seems like overkill even for someone vain. I'd say aging well has a lot to do with genetics and our diet, with topical creams etc playing a very small part after that.

    I don't think that's what sunscreen is for. . .

    Yes it is. A product can be labelled "anti aging" if it has SPF in it. Google "truck driver sun"

    yeah, factor 40 cream most days, don't always think of it in the winter but most days yes.

    If im going to be out in the direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time,then ill use it,otherwise no.

    I usually buy my sunscreens in the winter months,as they are trying to get rid of stock and they usually slash the prices.

    I seen some good spf's in dealz recently and picked up a bottle,it would prevent me from getting sunburn/tan,just like a regular sun block would,and i would pay more if it was nivea or ambre solaire etc..



    As a total ageing product though?Sun block does not prevent over all ageing of the face,the jowls will still sag with our without excessive sun exposure..

    Although you will have less creases and sunspots on the surface of your skin.

    No amount of face lifts,tucks and so on can prevent ageing of the face,look at joan collins and all the work she had done.You can still tell she is old..

    It may stop you from ageing quite so quickly but it really doesn't help fend off the onset of wankeritis.

    If you have a head, get a hat: something with a wide brim like a cricket hat. That plus long sleeves, who needs sunscreen? :cool:

    Like a crocodile Dundee hat? Good advice.

    Don't the little nano particles in sunblock get in to your bloodstream and give you Alzheimers/that sorta illness?

    Read that.
