Straight off the plane and on with the tanning oil. Sod all this easing into it gently malarky.
Siren needs Factor 2,000,000 before stepping out of the front door though. |

"Just been away for 2 weeks and there were people sat in the shade all the time avoiding the sun. Why go at all if you are that concerned? "
just because people make like the sun, it doesn't mean everyone wants to burn their skin in it....
i am happy being on a beach, reading a book underneath the biggest sunbrella imaginable!!! |

I often get mistaken for a spaniard when I've got a tan. It's happened on more than one occasion and I find it hilarious when they start babbling away in Spanish and let them carry on only to tell them at the end that I'm English and haven't got a scooby what they just said.  |

I go quite brown when I am abroad but I dont go mad and lie in the sun all day. In fact I only tend to relax on a beach for about an hour and then im bored and go for a look around. I always put sun block on my face and wear a large floppy hat anyway and I wouldnt go lower than a factor 20 at any time. |

Yeh i can get that but there was a couple sat under a brolly for 6 hrs a day avoiding it. It it was that big a thing i would have thought some place cooler was better. I was going to ask them but she kept barking at him and making his life a misery. I felt real sorry for him. |

"Or are you factor 50 in the shade looking after your skin?"
I like to get a tan but am always careful not to on my face. I don't want to look like a prune or Madge from Benidorm  |

I have only ever tanned when I have been to the states on holiday, after moving to the coast, I was told that in a few years I would have a permanent all year round tan, something to do with the salt in the air, my Nan lived on the coast, she was always brown, my Aunt and Dad too after moving when they retired, me 21 years later and I'm still as white as a fecking sheet |

The problem with being pale and interesting all your life is that lying in the sun, even with SPF 30 on, is a recipe for skin cancer. Tanning needs to be built up gradually, over time.
I am the one under the umbrella because I go to Greece or Spain to relax and look at the nice young men, not cook like an oven ready chicken. |

Yes and no, i find it difficult to sit for long periods in the sun unless I have a hat on anyway. I also tan easily so I don't need to be in the sun for long but I have noticed the last few years with global warming and therefore summer decreasing, that I am beginning to burn so I use protection now  |

No, id rather stay white than risk getting burnt(and getting a tan is in simple turns, a process of damaging your skin). My mum got the most serious form of skin cancer, and has always been very careful to stay out of the sun, so if she can get skin cancer, anyone can. |

I like a little colour and it has to be natural though. For 1000s of years we went out in the sun without anything so its not unnatural. I don't like the mahogany look though. |
