    The worst is when is a cloudy Sumner day and you’re like there’s no sun mf, no need to sunscreen! But you still get burned the fuck out.

      In the city of Utrecht NL they have free sunblock stations spread around the city. It shows the temp and UV rating. But buying it in store is crazy expensive and often the quality is poor. Some fancy tiny spray bottles go up to 12 euros, only good for 3 to 4 uses. wtf.

      I buy the store brand from the local supermarket. €2,99 for a 250 ml bottle and it works great. I never get sunburn, even during multi hour bike rides in the blazing sun.

    I would wear suncream more often, but:

    1. I’m allergic to something in most brands of suncream so if I run out I’m having to deal with rashes all over where I used it.
    2. I hate how it makes me feel slimy after using it

    There’s this Loreal suncream spray I like that I can’t seem to find that feels like water and when it’s dry, it doesn’t feel like you have suncream on. It’s perfect for me! I’m not allergic to it either so I can actually go in the sun without turning red and blotchy!

      In the US it’s cheap but unregulated and full of shit that’s terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that’s better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen… meant for my face.

      • BorgDrone@feddit.nl ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        In the US it’s cheap but unregulated

        It’s the exact opposite actually.

        US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well as the sunscreen as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.

        As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.

    • Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Actually,

      There’s no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that’s not what’s happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

      source

      Hypothetically speaking, will you get sunburnt if you sit near a fire all day?

      source
      • krashmo@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I’m not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.

      Why exactly do you think there is UV radiation coming from the sun?

      source
      • NikkiDimes@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

        The nuclear reactions occurring within the sun emit a wide spectrum of radiation, everything from sub-visible thermal radiation to high energy gamma rays. Thankfully, the Earth’s own electromagnetic field and ozone protects us from all but a tiny sliver of ionizing radiation or we wouldn’t be here to talk about it.

    I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it’s cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

      Australia is a different beast though.

        Its not the ozon hole (well its a little bit the fault of the ozon hole) but its because due to the eleptical orbit of the earth around the sun the southern hemisphere is closer to the sun in summer than the north hemisphere.

    @bees Actually the UV creams have shown to be themselves carcinogenic, so it's not about to have cancer or not, but how to get it. All things in moderation, including sun, your body does need vitamin d3 which it produces in the presence of UV.

      Oh FFS this isn’t the benzene thing again, is it? Benzene is a trace contaminant in everything from the air you breathe to the water you drink. The highest number Valisure came up with was 6 ppm in a sunscreen sample, that’s 0.0006%. Even if you decided to inject the whole bottle of sunscreen directly into your veins it would be a fraction of your total exposure for the day.

      Using people’s fear of cancer to scare them away from effective cancer prevention measures is fucking shameful, do better.
