I have similar skin thingies that I worried were some form of skin cancer, but my doctor has confirmed as just a “normal part of aging”. 
Regardless, it is always a load off the mind to hear it from a person with a medical degree.

I have a very similar list to Matt. And yes, I have used everything in it (and do frequently): sunscreen, Motrin, bandaids, moleskin, water bottle, mini fans, cooling towel, light weight sweatshirt for DS in cold restaurants, ponchos, zip lock baggies, extra battery pack and I’m sure missing a couple things. I am the family pack mule, but I’m glad to do it. This is me trekking through which my handy dandy backpack!

I burn very easily being ginger and freckly so I also don’t go in the sun. A couple of weeks ago I was diagnosed with a severe vitamin D deficiency. I’m one step away from having rickets. Practically.

The solution to easily burning isn’t avoiding the sun, but going out into the sun in very small periods, gradually increasing.
When I was young, I burned fairly easily. Always needed sunblock. But now that I run outside during the summers, I rarely need sunblock for short outings at all. (And putting on sunblock during these short periods of “training” the body actually interferes with the training because they block the rays needed to develop protections!
(Obviously, if you will be out for a prolonged period, you should use sunblock.)
In the meantime, you need sun, as you know, for Vitamin D.
I’ve always burned going out for short periods. I can burn inside 2 minutes. I can burn in the shade. I do go out without sun cream fairly regularly and get burnt, even if it’s just my right arm when I’m driving 5 minutes to the supermarket. C’est la vie. I’m now taking a vitamin D supplement.
But that’s the point. You will burn because you have no sun tolerance built up. You have skin that never has enough exposure to be able to tolerate sun.
Go outside for 1 to 2 minute increments at first with your skin exposed. Do this every day for a week (maybe a couple times a day). Then increase this to 2 to 3 minutes for another week, etc. It is very VERY gradual.
There are two advantages to this:
- It gives you vitamin D far more effectively than supplements.
- It actually can help REDUCE your risk of skin cancer if you take the effort to do this. Of course, it is important to never be out so long that you start to burn.
I’m 44 years old, I have spent lots of time outside. My skin has spent much more time outside with no sun cream on than it has with sun cream on. There are probably about 3 days a year when it’s actually hot enough here to get a sun burn. Or indeed a sun tan, if your skin is that way inclined. My skin has had plenty of sun exposure.
The solution is clearly…cargo shorts!

That’s not a solution for anything other than “how can I look like I’m stuck in the 90s?” 
Not to be difficult or anything, but…
Not enough time, apparently!

They actually make flat-pocketed cargo shorts. These aren’t your father’s cargo shorts! (Or, whomever’s!)
Yeah, but flat pockets won’t hold nearly as many snacks for my kids!

Um. Your kids can wear their OWN cargo shorts and carry their OWN snacks.

Or, how can I look like carrying a bag for less than 2 lbs of stuff is really pointless when I can just put it in my pockets.
Yeah. I own several pair.
Still looks ridiculous.
(what, I never said I was immune to this!)
I’m sorry for the confusion, when I said snacks for kids, I obviously meant snacks for me. I don’t want my kids eating the good snacks!
