As you know I will be shaving my head soon. One thing that I would like to know is if you guys ever wear sun screen in the winter time? I never did and usaully wore a cap in the winter, but I'm wondering if anyone does? Thanks in advanced.

Yes you can still get the rays in the winter time. Anytime you will be otu for longer periods...always wear sunscreen

Thanks for the advice, that's what I thought. Is there anyway to get a little tan on your noggin in the winter (besides tanning beds)?

You can try a gradual tanning cream, but go slow. You don't want a pale face and tanned noggin.
Be careful of the tanning beds, I would say 10 minutes max. They are not safe from cancers either.

If you have never shaved before, your head is probably going to be in sharp contrast to your face. I know some people will try to alleviate this quickly by purposefully not using an spf lotion but thats just not the way to go about it. If you are just patient, the colors will eventually match, even if you use an spf regularly.
I use any of the various spf 15 lotions (nivea, everyman jack, etc.) every day and an even higher grade if I KNOW I am going to be out in the sun a lot, hat or not. -

I put sunscreen on my face when I go skiing, but other than that I usually am indoors or am wearing a cap.

I live in Scotland. The sun comes out in summer which lasts for about 2 days in July.

I wear a hat for the most part in the winter because it is damn cold here, but if for some reason I have to be outside without one I'll put on the sunscreen.

That's a little depressing isn't it. -

You don't have to be directly in the sun to get UV damage. UV rays are present in the shade as well. For those who ski, the reflection from the snow can be devestating to the face and head. PROTECT, PROTECT, PROTECT.

Yes m8. Try living in it. I had a friend who emigrated from Scotland to Canada because she wanted to see the sky. Too much cloud here. -
