44、hreeWhen you stretch out in the sun you can do one of the three things：you can use no sun tan oil， an ordinary suntan oil； or Bergasol.If you dont use any suntan oil when youre in the sun， you will burn surprisingly quickly.If you use an ordinary suntan oil， you will protect your skin to a lesser or
45、 greater degree. How much protection depends on the “protection-factor number” on the bottle. Some oils block out so many of the suns rays and you can stay in the sun all day without burningbut you wont go very brown， either.Bergasol will protect your skin like an ordinary sun tan oil. It also has a

However， the price looks more attractive as you do.BergasolIt makes you go brown fasterProtectionMany people imagine that “cover-up” means you dont get at an. Nothing to show for your holiday.Not so. With “cover-up”， you can get brown if you want to. The point of “cover-up” is to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun which， according to the
