ChrisL Posted July 29, 2020 Share #2 Posted July 29, 2020 I had lunch with my family at a fancy restaurant Sunday and the only seating was outside. Most of our table was in the shade but I took the seat in the sun so the others wouldn’t cook. I figured I had sunblock on my face I’m good. Well I completely smoked my forehead & scalp. My face color is uneven now and it hurts to brush my hair! But my tan is pretty solid year round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parsnip Totin Jack ★ Posted July 29, 2020 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2020 Dermatologist #1 commented on the sharp lines on my legs and arms like they were bad or something. Now I’m wearing SPF sleeves on my arms and 50 SPF sunscreen everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shootingstar Posted July 29, 2020 Share #6 Posted July 29, 2020 I don't really look for a tan on self anymore since I use sunblock. But still the sun does eventually get to my skin when I'm out cycling /outdoors for over 2 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted July 29, 2020 Share #7 Posted July 29, 2020 Not much tan this year. Most of my rides are in the woods and tan just doesn't seem to happen. I will probably burn badly Saturday if I go racing. Back in the day when I was racing the full sized cars I used to spend whole days in the sun without shade. When I came north from VA I had a dark tan. A few years later I had the matching tumors. I do not actively seek sunshine if possible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikeguy Posted July 29, 2020 Share #8 Posted July 29, 2020 My feet have tan lines from the sandals i wear just about all of the time walking the dogs and most of the summer. Arms, legs neck, and face have my 'typical' tan from cycling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longjohn ★ Posted July 29, 2020 Share #13 Posted July 29, 2020 I buy sunblock by the case and use lots of it. I wear a wide brim boonie hat all the time outside. I don’t have any tan lines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralphie ★ Posted July 29, 2020 Share #14 Posted July 29, 2020 I avoid the strong sun. I do like sun when it is not too hot oot, but always in small doses and I try to cover my sun- damaged noggin and forearms as much as possible. I always hated hats but they beat the hell oot of skin cancer and the dermatologist’s knife. My wife has also turned over a new leaf in that area. When I first took her to meet my paternal grandmother, grannie pulled me aside and asked if she was black. Or she might have said white, can’t remember. That was fun. One of my favourite stories 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"A rocket scientist with a temper". Unfortunately, so far as the sun goes, I have the German complexion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted July 29, 2020 Share #19 Posted July 29, 2020 I've got a respectable cyclist tan. From my collar down to about an inch above my knees, I am doughy white. If you look you can see I have the raccoon eyes you get from wearing sunglasses while I ride. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fact Jack. I have been wearing the wide brim hats for ten years. Should have started sooner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsharr ★ Posted July 29, 2020 Share #23 Posted July 29, 2020 I have a farmers tan. Head and forearms tan, the rest is as pasty and white as a catfishes belly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
az_cyclist Posted July 29, 2020 Share #24 Posted July 29, 2020 Legs have a decent tan, at least from the edge of the bike shorts to the top of the bike socks, at least as decent as SPF 30 will allow. Arms dont have much; with all the basal cell carcinomas I have had removed the past few years I have started to wear sun sleeves when I ride, PI, SPF 50. not much color on my arms. Face gets SPF 30 sunblock too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisL Posted July 29, 2020 Share #25 Posted July 29, 2020 I noticed my forehead is starting to peal now.... My island skin doesn’t burn easily but 2.5 hours of direct sun with no SPF or cap did me in. I usually wear a cap when I’m out & about but we were dressed nicely so I wasn’t wearing one that day. My arms didn’t burn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather I just get different shaded of red. I also use lip balm with SPF 15 rating. My lips do get burnt if I don't and cold sores break out.

MickinMD ★ Posted July 30, 2020 Share #27 Posted July 30, 2020 Very poor. We've had so much rain or else severely hot weather that the asphalt trails are too hot to walk the dog. So the slight tan I was developing through June is fading. August, though, looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
