Yes.
Happens to me every time I switch to just boardies and I forget how slippery it is :roll:

Put the sunscreen on a while before you go out, rather than last thing at the beach 8)
You'll probably find me surfing, but if not, I'll probably be in the photography studio

Usually on the first wave I catch every time I go surfing I feel the slipperyness of the sunscreen on the board and I often blame that for my habit of falling on the first wave but after a wave or two it goes away.
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

I've given up on sunscreen....put a little zinc on forehead, nose and cheeks on really sunny days. Throw on a tshirt and you'll solve the problem of chest screen use age and slippage in one shot.

Rash shirts are the go, helps prevent the cripple nipple syndrome as well . Sunblock or zinc cream on the face and perhaps a sun hat.
Prolonged exposure of the skin beyond the length of time needed for adequate vitamin D Can lead to a raft of skin problems, all of which are more prevalent in later life.
Protect your skin, check your skin, . Bask beautifully and bountifully!
