Re: Factor 30...bloody useless
So have just spent a LOVELY arvo next to the pool, smothered in factor 30 every 30 minutes or so... trying to get a bit of vitamin D and once again its a massive FAIL....
God knows what I would have looked like without it
Anyone recommend an EFFECTIVE sunblock???? i think I've tried EVERY one on the market and still I resemble a freshly boiled lobster
Even the zinc on the nose doesnt work..... Reckon its all those years spent on steroids....

Always made me smile when people used to make racist remarks, based on the colour of people's skin, then spend the whole of the summer trying to look like them. Go figure.

Re: Factor 30...bloody useless
I dont do any sun worshipping.... Its the scariest phrase "working on my tan" seeing people with melanomas being hacked about isnt much fun... The older folk who used to use cooking oil and worked outside come rain or shine you can understand... But young people "working in their tan"...... You'd think they knew better by now...

I know we have some:
- In the cupboard
- In my backpack
- In my cricket bag
- In the kid's school pack
We also have some of that Zinc stuff that is just vile.

Hehehe, yeh, some sense isn't so common.
Oh, I remember that stuff <nostalgia> You might as well cover yourself in water for all the good it will do over here

Re: Factor 30...bloody useless
I wish the laboratory boffins would hurry up and make a sunscreen pill. I'm always too tanned despite being diligent with the factor 30. The sun up here now is absolutely blazing. Blouse, hat, sunscreen etc - you just can't feel comfortable or keep the lotion on as it drips off.

Re: Factor 30...bloody useless
I'll leave the zinc to the guys attending the test-match (green and gold usually, bless them).
