Factor 50 sunscreen

Please everyone wear factor 50 sun cream . My husband died from grade 4 malignant melanoma. He was given 5 years to live he only live 3. You do not want to watch the person who is your other half of yourself died from skin cancer. He had 6 secondary tumours 3 in his right lung 1 in his chest and 2 in his brain by the optical nerve. He was going blind near the end . He never smoked. But in the end he was on full oxygen and still couldn't breath . I told him to stop fighting and we would be ok . He died a few minutes later.

The winter sun is as dangerous as the summer sun. My husband died in 2004 aged 47. In those days 2,000 people a month where dieing of sun cancer the figures are higher now.

Keepingquiet I hope you never have to watch love of your life die from skin cancer . If you did you wouldn't have written your last paragraph.

I don't use sunscreen at all, except in my daily moisturiser. I wear a hat and cover up or stay in the shade.

There is nothing wrong with sunshine in moderation, especially here in the UK, in fact it is healthy.

Clinique City Block factor 50 suits my skin. Any Nivea product always gives me spots.

I use Ultrasun tinted factor 50 as a daily “undercoat” - or on its own if I’m not bothering with make up.
DH had serious eczema and the most sensitive AND photosensitive skin ever and used the untinted version without problem.

I was also going to recommend Ultrasun.

I use Nivea factor 50 for face I’ve used it for years..

You Don need above 30F. That is the maximum protection you will get. Anything higher provides no more protection.
