My DS was lathered in sun cream every few hours when we were in Canberra and he is a noticeable darker shade now even with a hat shirt shoes and socks and under a shade. I have no idea how it even happened
DD has a fairly olive complexion - she doesn't get much sun exposure at all and always with hat and sun screen. I wouldn't say she's tanned but she's a lot darker than her fish-belly-white parents!
I gave up using sunscreen with the kids when they kept getting tanned anyway. They still put it on their faces when they swim because they wear goggles and they don't want big goggle marks on their faces LOL, but any other time we don't bother. They wear rashies too and they stil get a tan. They never get sunburnt, but they just tan regardless of what I do. I think some people will just tan and it does make me question the point of using sunscreen. My kids have really olive skin though and the only way they wont get a tan is if I keep them inside 24/7. Of course it's a worry, but I've tried to stop it and can't so I gave up.
