Hawaii in June...need SPF advice! - tanTALK

wendage2 · 05-04-2004, 02:43 AM

Hi all, I love these boards.

I am going to hawaii in june for 4 days and would like some advice on what level spf to use as i know the sun is stronger there but not sure how much stronger.

i have fair skin but a good base tan from the beds. I live in So. California and when i tan outdoors for a few hours i use a 2 oil. If i am going to be out for 4 or more hours i generally use a 4 lotion.

What would you all recommend that i use as I louge by the pool and beach in lovely maui? I don't want to get burned but i do want a great tan!

thanks a bunch!

I would say if you use an 8 or 15 you would still tan and not burn, depending on how long you spend in the sun. Maybe even start with a 15 then move down to and 8 and so on.
