Historically, I would prefer to wear cover such as long sleeves, and a brimmed hat. In the last couple years I started taking medications that corrupts my DNA and makes me prone to burning and skin cancer. I've been using mineral sunscreen when I know I'll be outside for an extended time. It seems to work well, and it doesn't feel greasy. It does leave a bit of a white residue, though. I asked a coworker in Hawaii what the best mineral sunscreen is, and she recommended Australian Gold.
I know various older people that got into sailing in their younger years, and they have quite old looking skin for their age.

- sgtnoodle 4y agoI was outside for 3 days straight in Kansas a few weeks ago, without shade from 1pm to 6pm, during an extreme heat warning. I applied 30spf Australian Gold at 8AM and at 1pm. I got just a hint of color on the back of my hands by the end of it. Like I said, I take a medication that makes my burn easily.
