you need to remember to slip,slap, slop like we tell the reception children.
slip on a t shirt (with sleeves)
slap on a sun hat
slop on the sun cream

I once fell asleep on a beach - first day of hols. On me back, with arms above me 'ead. Woke up with burnt armpits and belly.

Do NOT do this - EVER!!!!

I rarely get burnt any more, because I don't risk it. I never sunbathe (on the naturist beach in Spain I use a beach umbrella, and loads of sunscreen [a water-resistant one sold for kids] as well as sometimes keeping my sunhat on to swim) I rarely wear anything sleeveless, and not that often short sleeved, and the main problem I have with the sun is it makes my eyes hurt (oddly enough, it's not as bad in Spain as a very sunny day here, but perhaps that is because I believe in Siesta!)
