Prettykitty, you should apply sunscreen anyway. Even light brown skin can burn. Not easily but it can burn. Besides, the sun rays cause free radicals which are the main cause of premature aging. Applying sunscreen daily will make you age a lot better and keep wrinkles at bay for longer.
Prettykitty, that’s nice and better than never. But you should try to wear it daily, maybe by using a moisturizer with SPF? That’s about enough to get enough protection on most days.
Prettykitty, it’s not true that chemicals are bad for you. Some chemicals are not all. In fact, everything is a chemical: water is a chemical, plants and human beings are made up of lots and lots of chemicals etc. Some sunscreen ingredients are synthetically derived and if you don’t feel comfortable using them (even though they are safe), you can always use sunscreens with Titanium Dioxide and Zinc Oxide, which are naturally occurring minerals.
John A. Kenney Jr., M.D., professor of dermatology at Howard University College of Medicine, Washington, D.C., notes that black skin seems to have more protection against UV rays than white skin, due to melanin and perhaps other factors. However, warns Kenney, blacks can sunburn to some degree. And UVA does cause some aging changes in black skin as well.
AshleyLee, thanks for your comment. Black skin offers more protection against the sun rays than white skin but they still cause damage like premature aging and cancer. Everyone should wear sunscreen daily.

So when are we going? ; )
Annabella Freeman´s last [type] ..Annabella’s Review – Body America Organics Vermont Va Va Voom Face & Body Scrub 177ml
Annabella, mirrors and tweezers would be handy! And I hadn’t thought of using coconuts like that, but it’s a great idea!
I’d have to go with your answers too. But if we’re talking strictly cosmetics, then foundation, mascara, and a tinted lipbalm or gloss!
eight´s last [type] ..Get Barry M Into Canada!
Eight, I think these are the most usful items, but mascara and foundation would be great things to take with you as well.
Is toilet paper considered a beauty item?
Ashley, it can be used to remove excess shine so yeah. In any case, it would be a very handy thing to have.
Sunscreen, Aquaphor and clean water. Water’s a beauty item, right?
Tammy´s last [type] ..Flaws What Flaws- Cover FX Conceal FX Camouflage Concealer
Tammy, mmm I’m not sure but probably yes lol. Water is always handy.
Protector labial (iprovenzali o BV), bàlsamo para el cabello y un protector para piel de 70SPF.
Glendy, great picks! I love I Provenzali lip balms too.
Sunscreen, lipbalm and after-sun moisturiser.

Vonvon, those are all very useful items.
If we are talking about beauty products – sunscreen, blue Chapstick, deodorant…
Jeni´s last [type] ..Australian Gold Tanning Lotion – Friend or Foe
Jeni, a deodorant would be a very handy thing to bring too. It’s so hard to pick only 3 items, isn’t it?
Mascara, lipstick, and toilet paper. I plan to stay in the shade.
Ashley, staying in the shade is a great idea. I think I may keep you company there.
I’m going to be contrary and NOT say sunscreen. Instead, lip balm, heavy moisturizer and…oh heck, sunscreen after all.
Trisha´s last [type] ..Earthly Elements Hawaiian Ginger Normal to Oily Balancing Shampoo and Conditioner Review
Trisha, lol. Sunscreen would be very necessary on a deserted island.
I like to carry a moisturizer, lipgloss and sunscreen with me.
So that my skin wouldn’t get burnt with all the sun exposure that I would get for free.

Everyone’s choices are great!
I agree Ashley!

La Bisbetica, I agree. Multi-purpose products are always very handy.
Lotion, Lip gloss, Bodywash!
Prettykitty, those are great choices.
Btw I cant wait till summer because im going to take a lotion and tan outside!
Prettykitty, that’s nice! Remember to slather on the sunscreen too.
Too much sunscreen is not good for you because I have light brown skin I dont burn!
Prettykitty, you should apply sunscreen anyway. Even light brown skin can burn. Not easily but it can burn. Besides, the sun rays cause free radicals which are the main cause of premature aging. Applying sunscreen daily will make you age a lot better and keep wrinkles at bay for longer.
Sometimes I put on sunscreen but not all the time!

My face lotion says it protects from envirormental influecnce ( i know its spelled wrong) but it does not say how much??
Prettykitty´s last [type] ..Product Review- Silkygirl Moisture Gloss in Sweet Pink
Prettykitty, sounds like a very generic claim. If it doesn’t state a SPF number I doubt it offers protection against the sun rays.
btw sunscreen is packed with chemecials so we have to be careful!

But my skin is brown!
Prettykitty´s last [type] ..Skin Irriation- Causes and Prevention
Prettykitty, it doesn’t really matter what color your skin is. It can still burn and get premature wrinkles because of the sun rays.
I know this is totally the wrong place, but I have a couple of questions.
1) Where would someone enter her photo?
2) bwb, why do you look so sad in your photo?
Ashley Lee, you mean the avatar photo? You would need to get a gravatar. You can do so here: http://it.gravatar.com/
I didn’t think I looked sad lol. Maybe it’s due to the small size of the picture?
Instead of body wash im going to say toothpaste!
