My understanding is that _several_ hours per day can mean a very significant chance of skin cancer down the road especially for lighter skinned people in subtropical or tropical regions.
- chitowneats 4y agoFair point. I'm an extremely light skinned person. That's the main reason I don't live outside of the climate zone in which my direct ancestors lived.
- fredestine 4y agoweaingr suncream is pretty much a given that should be pushed way more. and I am not talking about tropical countries only
- omniglottal 4y agoActive ingredients in most sunscreens are carcinogenic upon exposure to sunlight. Careful about studies which say the sun causes cancer in light-skinned people without accounting for their increased use of (non-mineral-based) sunscreen. Consider which industry profits from and funds such studies.
