I haven't deliberately tanned in almost last 20 years. I don't need to with all my cycling.

perhaps choose a lower SPF block Dotsie, for a bit of tan under 1 hr. in Aruba on the hotel balcony for legs/abit of arm, then load up stronger SPF block thereafter on the beach.

I don't think tanning salons are safe places, that's for sure. I recall an article somewhere about inexperienced operators.

I'm not interested since I had a non-malignant mole removed just 6 months ago by a dermatologist. So I do have to be careful. IF this makes sense to anyone: I haven't worn any bathing suit for past 10 years even though I could probably wear a 1 piece ok. Just no motivation anymore to sunbathe. I never went sunbathing in Hawaii last year. WE biked each day for about 1-2 hrs. I wore my short shorts and short sleeved tops, not even a tank top. I found the sun too powerful at times in terms of the rays.
