If yes, then I'll put it on pretty much no matter what time it is--we were out at 8:30am yesterday and in the sun it was HOT. We were also out at 5pm over the wknd and it was still really hot in the sun! So as long we're in direct sun, I will put it on LO. </p> <p>If we're in the shade, I'll put it on around 930/10, and then re apply after his nap, around 2. </p> <p>I am really bad about putting it on for myself though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718432 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 11:48:12 +0000 birdofafeather 1718432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 4:30, unless we're still at the beach. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718278 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:59:26 +0000 Adira 1718278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tend to not bother in the evening (after 5:00). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718276 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:58:44 +0000 Synchronicity 1718276@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: I agree! After I manage to get sunscreen on both of the LOs that I nanny, and they are raring to go, I usually give up and don't apply any on myself. Not good! </p> <p>I apply sunscreen when [nanny] LO #1 gets off the bus at 4, and that's generally the last time I apply it unless we go out later and I know we'll be in direct sun. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718272 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:57:29 +0000 mrsjyw 1718272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't reapply at evening hours, since we usually keep him in shade anyway </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718267 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:56:33 +0000 Bao 1718267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put it on her anytime there is sun unless she's just walking from point A to B and in it just a minute or two. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718265 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:56:25 +0000 pui 1718265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>After 5 I probably wouldn't bother. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718260 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:54:47 +0000 mamimami 1718260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: yeah, you're probably right! I just get so tired after applying to two squirmy little people that I neglect myself :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718103 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:12:55 +0000 septca 1718103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we are going to the park after about 5:30, I don't put it on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718098 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:12:00 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1718098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I very rarely put sunscreen on myself. Really only if i'm going to be laying out at the beach or park or at some sort of outdoor festival all day. Clearly i'll have to be more careful with my future little one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718068 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:04:10 +0000 skibobrown 1718068@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's in the backyard after 4 PM or so, I don't bother. It's pretty shaded back there. In full sun at this time of year, I would still put it on all the way until dinner time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718066 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:03:26 +0000 Mamaof2 1718066@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mamimami: Why wont you put it on yourself at 9am? That's prime sun! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718056 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:00:51 +0000 mamimami 1718056@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're taking swimming lessons this summer at 9 a.m. I will put sunscreen on my LO but probably not myself. I don't bother putting it on myself after 3 or 4 but probably would put it on my kids until 5 or so....</p> <p>During the school year I put sunscreen on my preschooler every day, but in the summer we're mostly indoors or in the shade so I play it by ear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718054 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 10:00:38 +0000 Mamaof2 1718054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>at home I would say after 3pm<br /> If we were going to the park though (zero shade) I would put it on the face only </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-time-do-you-just-not-bother-with-sunscreen#post-1718048 Tue, 24 Jun 2014 09:58:54 +0000 mamimami 1718048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>For you or for your child? Assuming it's a normal, sunny day? </p>
