    SPF15 every day, topped up with higher on days like today :)

    I am still pale and interesting, rather then radiation red :)

    It's space borne, carcinogenic radiation. Why would you sit out in it?

    Work in an office with no windows, haven't seen much of the sun never mind a chance to be out in it. Still Irish pasty white for the time being.

    Rarely outside in sun. I'm really really really fair skinned (though my hair is crazy dark brown) so don't deal with the heat very well. No sunburn for me

    Can't stand full on sun. I love sunny days and the sunshine that brings out the best in us, but I don't like the sweaty feeling! Must be getting old.

    I love sitting under a big umbrella, or in the shade. Just mad me I suppose!

    Then ya get brittle bones apparently. We all need at least 15 minutes a day of full on sunshine without any factors to protect our hips and knees.

    I don't like sitting in the sun, as in roasting on a spit, so I get my Vitamin D by walking around I reckon.

    Same ..
    Factor 40 today in the playground with the younger kids.. I'm burned.. was only out for 2 hours.. feckin Sun.
    Little known fact.. vitamin D from sunshine needs at least 24 hours to absorb into your system... You lie out then shower.. it's gone... This is one way a cat absorbs vitamin D..they lick it in... So folks .. always lick yourself after sunbathing :D

    Work in a place with no windows too. I love the sun but I've been working all weekend till late every evening and have seen none of it :(

    I'm off tomorrow so it better be as nice as today!

    Good rule of thumb. White on the outside, red on the inside. any reversal of this tends to spell a problem I find.

    I had factor 30 on and went for a long walk on the beach. I'm a golden colour now. I love it. Going back tomorrow for even more. :D

    I must admit that I have a slightly burned back. It does not look burned but feels dry and itchy. (No, its not dirty!).

    No sunburn here but I think I broke my baby toe wearing flip flops. Walked into a picnic table.

    Was at the beach over the weekend so got a good enough colour. Little bit sunburned alright on my shoulders even though I had factor 30 on but it's fine now.

    I work outdoors so this is glorious weather for me! Factor 20 does the job. Back of my shoulders are burnt because i couldn't reach them and no one else was around to put it on for me.

    OP, aloe vera is great for sunburn. If you have some rubbed over your skin by a bikini-clad blonde lass, while eating ice-cream, you should feel much better.

    I heard on the radio that we only get 60 days of sunshine a year on average in Ireland we had already had 15 on that day so only 45 left.
    I am a nice toasty brown and ready to punch anyone in the face that complains about the heat!
    I was born in the wrong country

    It seems to be only Irish people who seem to find it normal and acceptable to get sunburnt or to try and go brown. Really is wrong, especially where kids are concerned,

    Sunburn is damaged skin and should be prevented at all costs.
