Anything over 50 is a lie. Also, I'm very suspect of SPF lotions and self-tanners anyway. How the fuck is LOTION supposed to protect you from THE SUN?! There has to be some terrible chemicals in that shit. I believe in SPF the way I believe in a god ...I do it occasionally, just in case it works. :heh:


Yeah, that's what I've heard, too. I use the Baby Coppertone crap on my face, hoping that it's less harsh than an adult version, but I ain't a scientist, so who the hell knows. Probably giving myself alzheimers or something.

I don't think it's a lie....there are just dramatically diminishing results and I believe that actually starts before 50. My white ass needs every little bit of help I can get though and I'm not buying it frequently so I don't care if it's an extra couple of bucks.

I started laughing as I hit POST on that because as I'm deriding SPF, I am slathering on retinols, growth serums, baby placentas, snail sperm, hyaluronic acids, dragon blood, vitamin A, B, C, D, E, Q, X and whatever else will prevent wrinkles on my face, twice a day :laugh:

I think that leads to becoming a mutant. Let me go confirm that in my X-Men comic books.

The problem is that SPF isn't a universal for all skin. An average fair-complexion redhead using a 50 is going to burn faster than some Italian, Jersey Shore person using a 20.

I think they make a clear titanium dioxide (the stuff that lifeguards used to put only on their noses that used to be white) that is 100% for something like 4 hours. My issue isn't that the sun burns through whatever I put on, it's that I neglect one or more areas which eventually get a slight burn. Ears and tops of my feet have been scorched in the past.

I've always been really lucky.
I pick up color very quickly, and the only thing that's really ever burned is my nose. This was back when I was a teenager, and I'd go lie out on my friend's roof. We used to use Crisco as our "tanning lotion." I know it wasn't uncommon (at least in Kentucky), but I still can't believe we used Crisco.
 
Got sunburned once when I was in Hawaii with my second fiancee. Freaked me out. Skin started peeling and stuff. It was horrific.

I went to the beach one time 3 or 4 years ago and got about an hour of sun on my legs....then for the next week about every other time I would stand up I would get some extremely sharp pain deep in my legs that would literally take the damn breath out of me. Felt like that shit was squeezing muh dayum bone marrow or some shet.

I used to tan really well when I was younger, now I always burn first then sometimes it will peel. I actually have pretty sensitive skin, even though I try to act like I don't. Fuckin' pussy euro genes. You're right, cam - if I was a real messican, I wouldn't have to deal with this booshit. :pout:
 
Also - does anyone really like al dente pasta? Seems undercooked to me. I like mine squishy.
