It's Sunny!

I didn't mean to make it into a discussion about skin cancer, which is not only caused my exposure to UV rays, but by smoking, viruses and in some cases, medication.

Unless its over 20c I normally don't bother with any creams or protection. I rarely burn or tan. I go mildly brown and then it goes away in a couple of days because there is never consistent sunshine

Perhaps I should have "Rule Fived" my dad and his doctor when he was having his treatment for skin cancer

Tan lines = Good.

Lesions = Bad.

Rule#5 my arse! It may leave a nice tan, but it'll also leave you at increased risk of skin cancer..

Wish I'd known about these products before Sunday's sportive! Am now sporting razor sharp burn lines on my arms, the factor 20 just slid off when I attempted to re-apply..

Rule #5 ..... It sometimes hurts to get burnt, but it leaves a nice tan

It may not have been Home Bargains, it may have been Quality Save, I don't know how prevalent these places are outside of the North West.

I have found Riemann P20 to be very good. It's quite expensive, but it's a liquid rather than a cream so you probably use less and you only need to apply it once.

Keep your eye out in your local Homebargains store as they often have bottles of it in there on the cheap.

I agree with Farrell, me and missus swear by P20, it's quite expensive, although it is available much cheaper on eBay. One application lasts all day and its waterproof so sweating isn't an issue. It goes on clear so no streaks.

I suffer with dry sensitive skin and most sun creams irritate me. P20 is one of the few that doesn't, I don't use anything else for cycling, golf or the beach.

+1 for P20. Expensive, but worth it

P20 is a good all dayer and was recommended to me by my dad, who was recommended it by a doctor.

There was a report last year that showed that the own brand suncreams for Boots and Tesco outperformed the major brands so worth bearing in mind before you spend 3 or 4 times as much on a lower rated sun protection.
