I am going to Mexico and am afraid to get a sun burn.?


Question:
I am leaving in two weeks and plan on taking the strongest sun sreen I can find, also I will reapply throughout the day. However I live in northern US and work indoors so my skin never getts sun, plus I am pale and burn relatively easily. How concerned should I be?

Answers:
Quite concerned.
I'm going to Mexico too and man the sun beats down hard there. I mean, i live in Florida where the sun is always shining but still. One never gets used to such oppressive heat.
*** Buy men's deodorant, unscented***

Anyway, get sunscreen that's 80SPF apply it perhaps 10 minutes before you go into the water and after. Your legs wont get much sun in the beach but your shoulders sure will since the sun is reflected by the water.

Buy a wide brimmed hat and dark sunglasses. Your eyes might get tired from all the light and give you a monster headache. Take plenty of beach cover-ups that cover your shoulders. Avoid wearing dark colors. Wear white, yellow, light pink, light blues. It will just make things hotter.

Anyway, have fun!
bring all sorts of sunscreen and talk 2 ur dr. about any skin problems or allergies (s)he might be able to perscribe some experiment w/ the sunscreen BEFORE u go and bring the strongest ones wear light clothes a wide sun hat and dark sunglasses
dont worry try to tan just wear sunscrean and ull be fine just relax
You're smart to bring sun screen, when you go to Mexico try to keep covered and keep the sun screen handy. If you are especially fair skinned you should be concerned because even one sun burn can damage your skin. So just be careful and have fun!
Be very concerned...
