Sunscreen on a toothbrush?

Pretty sure you’re not doing it right.

I heard grandpa was losing his wits. The dentist was puzzled about the sudden gum line receding, until one day grandma caught him putting Preperation H on his toothbrush.

We can reasonably surmise that it ain't sunlight coming thought the windows whcih is causing it in Flight attendants. I would imagine that it's relatively rare for a flight attendant to be exposed to direct sunlight in flight.

Lifestyle. Pool deck on layover, beach on days off.

Windshields do block UV light, however the strength of UV light increases exponentially. Once you get in the high 30's, you're Mr Spock saving the Enterprise.

Use shades.

What are the best shade combo’s for a 737? The checklist and slider window stick on are all I’ve seen.

golf sleeves
 
For anyone who hates long sleeve shirts, especially in the summer, I bought a pair of SPF 50 sleeves for the flight I seem to just get stuck in the sun the whole time.

Some airlines may not allow long sleeves to be work under a short-sleeve shirt...

I'm still having difficulty with the whole "If you don't like to wear long sleeves, here's some long sleeves you can wear instead of wearing long sleeves" concept.
