Skin cancer, much?
Maybe in Norway this makes sense.
For fair skinned people in lower latitudes, maybe not.

- smcg 7y agoLooks like bad advice for someone with fair skin and family cancer history (me).
- JJMcJ 7y agoLet's not forget cataracts, which are much more common in equatorial regions, even among people whose skin pigment helps protect them from skin cancers.
- ghaff 7y agoLet’s just not go outside. The horror. The horror.
- _coveredInBees 7y agoYou are aware that you can easily access shade in the great outdoors? Literally, the pictures in the linked article show adults and kids seated in the shade in a wooded area.
- HarryHirsch 7y agoAnd in the summer you can wear loose clothing that covers the body instead of t-shirts and shorts. A tunic not only protects against sunburn, it is also more comfortable in the sun.
- Reedx 7y agoLack of sun and outdoors is a bigger problem.
- JJMcJ 7y agoSurprised by all the downvotes, please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_cancer_in_Australia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_cancer_in_Australia for example.
