Yes, I did sunscreen like crazy :)

My skin has two settings: fish-belly-pale and tomato-red-sunburn. There is no in-between. I go outside, I use sunscreen, I either burn or you can't tell I've seen the out-of-doors.

Me and my aloe vera will be over here doing the pasty white lady dance!

I was like that as a kid. As an adult, I developed a skin cancer (Melanoma), too many BIG sunburns while been a kid were responsible of that.

Ah, that's awful! I'm very lucky that my mom was very thorough with the sunscreen when we were little, and it has carried over.

When I was little we had tanning lotion without UV filters. Sunscreens came much later. I remember using Coke to get what I consider then a "nice tan" when I was 15.

My melanoma was in situ, which made it a lot less dangerous than what it might have been have I wait more to visit the doctor. It was a good fright but nothing more.

I'm glad it was just a fright! That would be horrible.
