First Summer Sly

[DaithiSean]

Its my first summer sly and thanks to recent good weather my head has caught the sun and is a lovely shade of pink ! As I am naturally a redhead I usually catch the sun and burn relatively easily - so out comes the factor 30, which I apply all over and this seems to work, it just leaves me looking very pale and ill when I first apply it - not a good look (but obviously much much better than risking skin cancer)

What is your advise for protecting my head without having to resort to plastering my head with Factor 50 ?

There is no other advice other than wearing a hat.  Be  careful though, some hats depending on the style and material can still let the sun get to your noggin.

We have stressed this over and over until we are "Blue in the head"  SUNSCREEN SUNSCREEN!
Please do not take this as a light matter.  Just get  your head sunburnt a few times and you will find out yourself, the HardWay!

I personally think pale is better than burnt and blistered. Gotta put at least a 30spf on ALL YEAR. Higher if your gonna be out in it for a prolonged period. I can't stand hats so I use at least 55spf in the summer.

Stay inside all summer long with your head hiding under your bed.  Other than that plaster away my friend and enjoy life. If you don't like the pale look you can always try the Jergens Natural Glow lotion. It evens out and darkens the skin tone a bit and gives you a natural look.
