Reply:if you're riding for that long and sweating, you'll need to re-apply the sunscreen, other than that and wearing long sleeves, i don't know what you could do. good luck
Reply:No, you can't stop yourself from tanning. Why would you want to though? Tan people look much healthier!
Reply:why would u want to stop tanning??? everyone wants to be tan! there isn't a way to stop tanning if you don't stop going outside other than wearing long sleeves and pants. so like Olay says, "love the skin you're in!"
Reply:I don't know if this is still a rule. Maybe sunscreens have been reformulated. Technically, sunscreens are supposed to be reapplied hourly. I don't know, maybe this only counts if you'll be going swimming. Or you should be using a sport sunscreen, which doesn't come off when you sweat, supposedly.





Also, depending on which you are prone to, most people will tan or freckle through sunscreen.





I don't know if this is true. If it's skin cancer you're worried about, I've heard that it's more often sunburns that cause cancer than tanning, but some people can only tan if they burn themselves. (don't take this for golden, please.)
Reply:You can't stop tanning, but I don't get why your complaining! I'd love to be more tanned...!
Reply:stay out of the sun
Reply:try to not bike from 11-3, since that's when the sun's at the highest point, and you'll tan easier then. you could wear a hat, maybe? or use a higher spf sunscreen. hope that helps.
Reply:avoid the sun between 10am-3pm as much as possible.. if you can enjoy the outdoors before and after this period, then you can help lessen the tanning you're getting.. if you cant avoid it, then re-apply sunscreen after an hour because the sun's rays are really bad and penetrating..





yes, you can lighten your skin shade for an even skin tone.. here's the way to go -
