there are still uva/uvb rays in the air. and some of us are pale and burn easily. some of us don't want skin cancer, nor do we want to look like leathery wrinkled old bags when we are 40.

so yes, it is "hot enough" to use spf 30 if you care about your skin.

not arguing really, but it's strange, since spf is something most people would use if they r going to Cuba or Dominican, or any other hot place

sun in Toronto is not nearly as strong as it is in a lot of other places

and common, one properly hot day, time to give that pale skin some colour, not hide under spf!

This is just my opinion, but if you really wanted some colour, why not use self tanner or limit your exposure to a tanning salon where the bulbs are chemically 92+% UVA rays and only 8-% UVB... then you know exactly what your precious skin is being exposed to.

SPF 30 on my face every single day...even in the winter... I only have one face...

And when I am old, I would hate to have lovely liver spots and sun discolouration on my skin... how sexy is that? Definately not worth the nice bronzed skin when I am young...

you have one solution,

move to syberia

oh yeah, most of my face creams has a bit of SPF in them, so no argument there

i was actually thinking it terms of shoulder/arms/legs

and aren't tanning beds actually worse anyway? i'm a hypocrite here since I tan regularly, but I absolutely hate self tanners, most of them turn the skin orange and the colour is far from natural tan..

i love my AC! i hate when it's so muggy that i can't breathe and getting all sticky & gross by just lifting my pinkytoe. i really hope this is not going to be another summer like last year.

just use vichy or helena rubinstein for golden beauty summer legs. excellent natural looking products. you pay a bit more but they last for a good while.

Any type of exposure to ultra violet light is unfavourable... but if you are gonna tan, why not do it where it is controlled?

Those chemists who invented the bulbs in the tanning beds are geniuses!!

and they have bulbs for your face that have 100% UVA... UVB are the rays that burn...

I actually read a testing that those products like jergens and dove that are moisturizers with self tanners in them work very well and look more natural...

Was thinking of trying them out myself...

yea i've tried these cheaper brands and they suck b/c if you're using a white towel coming out of the shower or wear white clothes they leave streaks. unless you feel like using bleach every time you do your laundry.

ffs, this is not Italy. It's the same shit with my coworkers, we usually eat ouside on the picnic tables, but today everyone chickened because they didn't bring sunscreen. People are so paranoid about spending 30 mins outside at the end of May like going out without sunscreen is gonna give them skin cancer tomorrow.

I wonder how many of the people who are deathly scared of skin cancer smoke?

I should also mention that by the time the above would start happening, you'll be far too old for anyone to care how "perfect" your skin is. not to mention that those happen in extreme cases of sun exposure. We're in Canada guys, this is not the tropics.

i hate self tanners too...they always turn me orange and streaky even after doing everything that i'm supposed to do like exfoliate! although i am loving the jergens natural glow as it's really subtle. and i use guinot self tanner for the face along with a little bronzer courtesy of MAC.

to be honest, i've always liked being pale...i would look retarded with dark skin. i just look a little less like one of the undead in the summer. plus, my skin will look awesome still when i'm old.

me too. i would die without AC. i can't sleep at all if it's hot in my room. this morning i woke up all nice and frosty. it was great! (until i stepped outside, that is)

i heard on the news that it was going to be hotter than normal and dry this summer. barf. at least i'm going home for a week in july where it will be nice.

i'm still hoping they're wrong, cos they always screw up the weather.

i know! and yay for bronzer! i have finally invested in some and am loving it
oh and I use Nivea's glowing moisturizer, it's really subtle but works the best once you already have a tan, it just adds that nice glow with a hint of sparkle

true, some ppl just look awesome with their natural skin tone.. i personally prefer my skin darker

yea me too!!! hihiii!!! i was so happy to wake up this morning without my hair clinging to my face looking like a retard. i haven't stepped outside today YET. maybe when it cools down a bit later on tonite. but i'm glad too that i'm taking off for about a month or so to the cottage. thank goodness on lake winnipeg it's all dry heat even with 40+ degrees celcius in the shade. no smog & mugginess for me! yay!

I would much rather be safe than sorry...

Just want my friends to be safe too... spread the word... sunscreen rocks!!!

well i definitely don't feel like burning holes into myself like there's holes in the atmosphere. i remember when i was growing up in the alps i would spend all summer outdoors looking like a lil brown bear by the end of it, but mind you, it would take me a while to actually get a tan. now i just step outside for half an hour and i'm seriously burnt even though i normally don't burn. ridiculous. it IS scary! so yea wear the stupid sun block. if you're gonna put on moisterizer anyways why not put some sun protection on at the same time. only takes a minute!

Really? I find the exact opposite - last summer, I was outside pretty much all the time, and barely even got tanned, then I went on a vacation to Spain, and in the first few days, even without going to the beach, i was pretty much burned. 3 years ago in Italy, same thing.

And obviously the moisturizer comment doesn't apply to me.
