Should people with skin that freckles sunbathe?

Question

I realise their are different types of freckly skin...perhaps you could give advise for each type?

Answer 1

Nobody should "sunbathe". Too much sun can cause skin cancer in any type of skin.

Answer 2

If you have the kind of skin that does freckle a lot you can still sunbathe, but it also all depends on if you like all of the new freckles or not. Like with anytime you are planning on being out in the sun for an extended amount of time, remember to wear a good sun block. A lot of times individuals who freckle a lot from the sun are lighter complected and will also burn easier, so its just a little easier to wear the good sun block now rather than dealing with the skin cancer later. So, it all comes down to being your call on if you should sunbathe or not depending on if you like your freckles---just do it safe. Good luck and have a great summer.

The answer is ask your doctor first,and if he says yes then prevention is the next step.What i mean by prevention is using a proper uv protectent sunblock,also to be on the safe side i would only do it in moderation limit the amount of time you sunbathe and to much sunblock isnt enough.I researched what the cancer society recommends, and found that in patients with several types of freckles they recommend that if you are going to sunbathe only do it in moderation - and if youre skin or freckles blotch or freckles grow then consult a doctor for his advice.

Answer 5

Skin that freckles is usually fair skin that is excessively susceptible to sunburn. My two children and I are red heads with skin that freckles. We try to practice limited sunbathing, and always with sunscreen of some sort. Even with sunscreen we try to limit time laying in the sun. Outdoor activities area big part of our lives, and therefore, so is sunscreen. Early in the summer, we are more vigilant about the sunscreen until our skin as obtained some gradual exposure to the sun and then is not so susceptible to sunburn. After being in the water, we try to reapply sunscreen, even if it says 'waterproof' on the label.

Answer 6

Really no one should sunbathe it is very damaging to your skin. If you must bask use a SPF 50 or higher - you will still tan only slower and in a less damaging way. Good Luck!

Answer 7

No one should sun bathe. The amount of sun you get through a healthy, active lifestyle is plenty. (And you should always wear sunscreen when working, playing, exercising outdoors)You shouldn't be out trying to get more. Is a tan really worth the skin cancer later? You might as well start smoking.

Answer 8

Bio Oil ( you can get it at boots) fades sun spots on the hands? Maybe that would work in the long term. But the simplest thing would be to use a good sun screen from now on so you don't do any more damage?

Answer 9

You really shouldn't sun bathe/tan. Most people should use *atleast* a 15 SPF sunscreen, but because your skin is already so fair use a 30+ SPF.

I agree with Beth and your skin will age much faster by exposing to more radiation from the sun
