Many years ago I used to lie and bake from morning till night, like a roast chicken on a spit. The mid day sun

was the best time of day for me. Started with suncream factor 2 for first few days and then none

I don't think they even make that anymore. Anyway the browner the better that's what it was all about Oh how proud I was that I was almost black.
Fast forward 20 years

and now I have so many little white dots on my legs you could play dot to dot on them, doctor says it's due to no pigment left in those areas due to excessive sun exposure. So for all you young ones that are soaking it up at every opportunity be warned! the sun really will damage your skin but it may not show for years.
I am very lucky that my face is not like a prune (SHUT UP!) or I haven't developed skin cancer. I now use factor 40 or 50.
