Sun protection for outdoor swimming
Hi,
I want to know what do you use to protect your skin against the sun rays. Are there any lotions or creams available in the market??

Have you ever been to a beach?Tongue
Well, if yes, use one of the water-ressistent creams you are using there.

RE: Sun protection for outdoor swimming
Sometimes my skin burns because of the use of these lotions & creams.
Can I know why does this happen?

yeah, because you do not use quality creams.
Don't buy cheap ones, if you really want to get sun-protected.
Otherwise, you will just get burned all the time.

RE: Sun protection for outdoor swimming
Recently I have brought a standard company lotion & this has given me good protection against sun burnt. Thanks for all your suggestions.
