What sun protection factor to take to the beach?
The travel agency says that in Egypt it is easy to burn out with a factor of 30 and under an umbrella. We fly in May. I want to tan beautifully and not burn out.

In general, it is better to take several protection factors. The maximum - for the first few days, and then you can descend. And of course moisturizers.

Good afternoon! I flew in April, I took with me 30 and 14 degrees of protection. In the first 4.5 days, you need to actively use 30-ku. Don't forget your feet. If you feel that you are tanned, go to 14. As for"burn under an umbrella " - it's not true. Just do not forget to apply the cream after swimming in the sea and pool.

I have light (pale) skin, but 30 helped, I didn’t burn. The main thing is not to forget to renew the layer of cream after water and of course to be under an umbrella

Be sure to take 30! Especially if you are going to swim on the surface of the water and look at the fish. And in the travel agency they tell you right - now you can burn out without creams and under an umbrella (it is enough to know the laws of physics - the sun's rays can fall on you in the shade, being refracted by the wind).

Last year I burned out with 30 from Biocon. You can’t lie under umbrellas all the time, but look at the fish, and even in the pool during aqua etobics. This year I took Oriflame 30 and 15. The first three days I smeared 30, super. Then she gradually switched to 15, but in some places, she smeared her shoulders longer with 30 and her face with 30.
Despite the fact that I came white-skinned with an even pleasant tan

Better take a few. And the first days in general, use the nursery! 40-50. My husband himself is very swarthy, but burned to the bone two years ago in Egypt (April). On the condition that he did not intentionally sunbathe, and the sun fell directly only during swimming. As a result, he could not wear clothes. Shoulders festered. But you can't tell him from an Arab! Here are the consequences of the fact that he relied on his natural swarthyness and used 20-6. And I and the children became"chocolates " and did not get burned!
Good luck!

Well, firstly, you need to choose a good company. But I’ll tell you that my skin is not very white, but no matter how I didn’t smear protective creams, I still burned out. I advise you to take 30 and 15 factors

The sun is evil now. Like the wind, not so hot, but the sun does its job. I recommend sitting under an umbrella for 3 days and constantly applying a protective cream. The sun in the water and under an umbrella is enough for the first couple. My husband and I have seen enough of the burns of vacationers ... and we went in April of this year. The degree of protection is normal for your skin, you don’t need to be zealous here, you don’t need to take several creams. It is better to buy at home, in Egypt - more expensive. Most importantly, apply all over the body. Otherwise, for example, the ears (no kidding) or the skin above the eyebrows will burn.

for the first time in Egypt, I got a sunburn using a cream with spf-30 (I’ll clarify right away that my skin is NOT sensitive). for the second time I bought spf-50 cream (Yves Rocher) - I'm extremely satisfied! the tan is even, beautiful, never burned!
ps keeps make-up very well, does not wash off after bathing ;) honestly!

My skin is not very light, but it burns.
I take the cream for the first days of SPF 15, then 10, 8, 4 ..
and I sunbathe wonderfully lying in the sun in the very heat))
I like different creams - Yves Rocher, Estee Lauder, L'oreal...
Why do you need SPF 30? Don't burn at all! Or do you have white skin?

I returned from Egypt on May 4. Despite the fact that my skin is dark, I used the baby 30. and still dried it out and got a little burnt. There is a strong wind, so the heat is not felt. Take 30 and 20, don't take less. and necessarily after sunburn, cooling.

IN ADDITION TO CREAMS, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO SWIMMING WITH A MASK IN A T-SHIRT, OTHERWISE THE BACK AND SHOULDERS BURN VERY. WALK ON THE BEACH IN A WHITE COTTON TUNIC WITH A SLEEVE. DO NOT FORGET ABOUT HAIR, EVEN IN A HAT IT IS VERY DRY - TAKE A NOURISHING MASK.

was in April, burned down so that she could not sleep (although I'm pretty dark). But now I know how to burn out: the first two days are a garnier for children, because it has the greatest protection and do not stick around on the beach from morning to evening, then 20 will be enough, and do not forget to smear again after the sea, after the beach, smear Vichy after tan, expensive but worth it (you will be chocolate, not like a husk) or an after-sun garnish. Then an even beautiful tan is guaranteed to you.

The maximum factor you find is to smear at the hotel, in advance, 20 minutes in advance, then add 1 time per hour or two. If you stay for a long time, then you will switch to a smaller factor. I love non-greasy sunscreens for kids, factor 25-30. Sunbathe no more than 3 hours a day. There is also a "trick " to lie across, not along the sun and change your head and legs alternately. Always smear after sunburn, but first wash off the salt. I do this always and everywhere in hot countries, the tan is awesome, everyone asks. Never burned out.

I will say that the sun is of course quite active in Egypt and Turkey. But here it is important to use the right tools. SPF 30 for starters, then you can lower it, and even tone it up. I use Caribbean Breeze. They have a wide variety and excellent quality.

I want to try a sun bracelet instead of cream, I heard about SunFriend. Does anyone know if there is an analogue of how it works? Or is the cream still needed?

Not less than 30, but better 45-50. The cream that leaves white stains is the safest. those. you need to look on the package to see if it contains titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. For internal skin protection, take Bioactive Carotene beta-carotene capsules. It is necessary to start the course at least 2 weeks before the trip in order to prepare the skin. After the beach - be sure to moisturize.
