Why do we have to wear sunscreen? - Kevin P. Boyd

You already know that a trip to the beach can give you a nasty sunburn, but the nitty gritty of sun safety is actually much more complex. Wrinkle-causing UVA rays and burn-inducing UVB's can pose a serious risk to your health (and good looks). So what can you do? Kevin P. Boyd makes the case to slap on some physical or chemical SPF daily.

Love that. "Avoid the sun during peak hours: between 10 - 4."

Also known as "the daytime."

That ageing part is more effective than the cancer scare, because people today fear looking old more than they fear death :D

I have oily, sensitive, acne skin. My favorite sunscreen under makeup is the litttlextra rice berry sunscreen SPF 50. It performs well even under makeup. Over time, it actually brightens my skin, I’m not sure what’s in it, but I really like that. I have already used about 3 to 4 bottles of this sunscreen. One more tip, I also apply rice berry face moisturizer under it and it keeps my skin hydrated.

I wish there was a type of sunscreen that you didn't have to apply but could just consume like a pill.
The sunscreen always gets washed off when I go swimming and I burn very rapidly before even realizing it.
Just imagine a type of sun screen that you could take in as a pill and just works for a few hours by making certain chemicals circulate through your blood to your skin.

I'm from the Philippines. I came from a community of fishermen, our skin is always exposed to sun more than 5hrs everyday since childhood but no one in our entire community had experienced skin cancer even the old ones. We never used sunscreen not even once. Yet we looked younger and don't have much wrinkles. Why is that?

I prefer the more time tested sun blockers, such as Persian arrows.

i feel sorry for the poor sap who has to test sunscreen

Wish he would explain a little more about the chemicals that some sunscreens contain, especially Oxybenzone that seems to be a very questionable ingredient.

My brother in law says that it's a scam and it's just to gain profit for companies. He lectures me about it's not important to use one. I'll still continue to use coz there's a lot of sources about how bad not to use sunscreen.

This video made me feel better about being too lazy to tan despite all the society pressure.

I agree with you about exercising, brushing and sunscreen. But, sugar substitute, or diet soda? Maybe you don't know, but this aren't as good as you think. Even, they're worse than the "natural" products, because they have chemicals and other substances that harm you more.
Want sugar? try brown sugar. Want soda? try a juice or water, is healthier.

I swim every dayin summer. Tommorow is the first day of the pool season. Sunscreen is a must

[oswaldoflores]

I mean i hate my skin being oily, i use spf 25 as it doesn't feel that oily, but re apply it every hour or whenever my skin feels dry. Right after i get home, i wash my face, put moisturizer. In short, i hate summer
