And I'm not a big fan of skin cancer. To each his own.
Some studies are showing something like 1 in 30 are prone to the skin cancer that the sunblocks will prevents (not all melanoma is even blockable using lotions), while the other 29 of those 30 people are developing vitamin D deficiencies due to blocking the sun's rays, causing a range of problems from depression to earlier onset of osteopherosis.
While I don't suggest tanning or excessive pool/beach use without some kind of SPF lotion (or sunblock if you have risk factors for skin cancer), the recommendations by some to wear sunblock any time you are in the sun is turning out to be likely unhealthy for you.
Here are a few articles about this, I cannot find the original one that I read tho.
