Suntan lotion and bathing suit, sunscreen/block and swimsuit, yes?
Spike: Heard what happened up top, offing your dad and all. Don't know if you know this, but, uh…I killed my mum. Actually, I'd already killed her, and then she tried to shag me, so I had to-- Wesley: Thank you. I'm…very comforted.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Bathing suit, absolutely! (Or, in family-talk: baling suit.)

Since I need SPF 15 to even turn on an indoor light,* my default word is sunblock.
*(This is not actually true. I do, however, burn really quickly and really badly. Thank you, Germanic heritage.)

My Grandmother used to rub baby oil on herself and sit in the sun all summer.
I'm not sure where a Swedish/French woman got those tanning genes, but apparently she kept them all for herself.

I am currently wearing SPF 85. In Seattle. I have not yet left the house to see the grey, hazy light of outside. And I am planning on buying the new Neutrogena Dry-Touch SPF 100 sunblock, because SPF 100 has been a dream of Goths everywhere.

Health benefits
The skin produces vitamin D in response to sun exposure (in particular, UVB in the 295-297 nm range),[4][5] which can be a health benefit for those with vitamin D deficiency. In 2002, Dr. William B. Grant published an article claiming that 23,800 premature deaths occur in the US annually from cancer due to insufficient UVB exposures (apparently via vitamin D deficiency). [6] This is higher than 8,800 deaths that occurred from melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma. This does not mean that sun tanning is categorically safe or beneficial. Spending several minutes in the sun is long enough to obtain your daily dose of vitamin D. Other research [7][8] estimates that 50,000–63,000 individuals in the United States and 19,000 - 25,000 in the UK die prematurely from cancer annually due to insufficient vitamin D.
Another effect of vitamin D deficiency is osteomalacia, which can result in bone pain, difficulty in weight bearing and sometimes fractures. This work has been updated in Grant et al. 2005[9] and Grant and Garland, 2006. [10] In addition, it was reported that in Spain, risk of non-melanoma skin cancer is balanced by reduced risk of 16 types of cancer [Grant, 2006][11]
According to research conducted in 2007 by Cozen, Gauderman, Islam, and Mack,[12][13] sun exposure during childhood prevents multiple sclerosis later in life.
Huh, its like we're taking it too far. How unlike us...
I saw some ad for sun blocking clothing that would prevent 87% of rays from touching your skin... um, isn't that just "clothing"?

I take vit. D supplements, because my doc did some tests and found out my vit. D levels were, erm, freakishly low. What? Giant burny thing in the sky! It frightens me!

It's my employers, man. I'm just a cog in their electron-exploiting ways.

Actually, no. It depends on how tight the weave is, and how thick or thin the fabric is. A man's white undershirt -- the kind that comes in a 3-pack -- won't block the sun for much longer than SPF 15 will.
(I know I sound like Cliff Claven, but srsly. I burn in about 8 minutes, so I know lots of info about how not to.)
