QUESTION

[grapedrink]

should you still wear sunscreen if your exposure to the sun is not causing your skin to burn (ie you don't burn easily or have a decent tan)? in other words, if your skin doesn't burn does that mean everythings cool? thanks.

sorry had too

good question actually, i think any little protection helps. but burning is BAD.

I kow you can get skin cancer without ever being burned, but I also know that you do get vitamin d and other stuff from some sun exposure. I have heard of people having medical problems from never seeing the sun.


Maybe some medical mags will have definitive answers, thats all I got.

You should wear sunscreen when exposed to the sun. Period.

good question. I've wondered the same thing. If you're fair-complected, you should probably screen up anyways (even if you don't burn).
I'm kind of swarthy and use the screen only when I'm up high. Just remember, premature leatherface is a hit with the cougs.

no actually , total lack of exposure to sun may cause more problems the solves. MDs are backing off on the live in a cave of sunscreen point of view.

You need relatively little sunlight to process the amount of vit d that you need. Something I actually remember from kollege: for Caucasians, it works out to as little as 15 minutes of facial exposure at the latitude of Boston in the winter sun.

My dermatologist says everyone is different - some need 30 and others only 4. I didn't ask about not using any but it seems like he was saying you use sunscreen according to your personal needs.

I told him I only use 8 (sometimes 15 on my shoulders) and expected him to lecture me but he said that was fine for my skin type.

That's right. I just read something about this in the last day or so. The article I read said you only need 2-3 minutes of exposure to noontime sun!

I say sunblock good - unless you do live in a cave, you get plenty of sunlight.

Not really an answer Weatherspoon - so I should be good.

Actually I'm quite fair in the winter it's just that I tan easily without burning and for the record I like a variety of colors

Are you serious? Stupid JONG! Of course you should still wear sunscreen. Do you think the UV rays aren't going to harm your skin just because you have a tan? Holy shit, you have to be the most stupidest fucking JONG on here yet.


You make the dumb people on this forum look like little Einsteins.

If not wearing sunscreen makes you a darwin award candidate then what does jumping off of cliffs with boards strapped to your feet make you or skiing no-fall zones?

It is all a matter of degrees, isn't it? One man's view of crazy is another's adrenaline rush.

This post constitutes unfair teasing in the absence of pics of your tanlines.
