Is sunscrean dangerous / cancerous?

If you eat it of if you throw certain types into a coral reef, sure. If you wear it, you're protecting yourself against a larger danger than the once you're exposing yourself to.
Gavin Thompson
Yes.
Don't ever use it. Stay out of the sun for prolonged amounts of time. Instead stay in the shade more.
Nolan Peterson
There are clothes with UPF protection, the fabric equivalent of sunscreen. Get a hat, a shirt, and some pants.
Nicholas Howard
To be real with you it probably is. I use sunscreen sometimes, but it's such a cocktail of chemicals that it's probably not something that you want to lather on your face as often as r/skincareaddiciton says you should. Better off just staying out of the sun and in the shade in outside. Wear a wide-brimmed hat too.
Well to be fair this was all a conclusion I came to AFTER I realized I'm too lazy and too cheap to put it on every day.
However....
Your skin needs sun too, for testosterone production and it also increases passion and arousal. This is brand new info. sciencedirect.com
And before you think it, no this one has nothing to do with Vitamin D, it's not a downstream indirect effect as a result of having more Vitamin D, this is directly because of sun hitting your skin, so you can't supplement this effect.

no matter how horny you are, never use sunscrean as lube. just trust me, don't do it.

i never understood how the sun, provider of life, can be bad for you but man made chemicals that seap into your blood stream are good. Just start off with small sun exposure and work your way up, its progressive overload for your skin. one day 20 min, rest then next time 25 min etc.
I also heard a theory that a lot of the plastics in are food are what cause skin cancer, as the sun heats these plastics up in our skin which then causes skin cancer some how. Idk but basically sun good, modern food and lifestyle bad

America is a totally different latitude than whites evolved to be in.
Jaxson Myers
cause some people hundreds of thousands of years ago decided to leave their sunny latitude and head up north where they had to adapt to less sun, then after that hundreds of thousands later abruptly decided to move back to sunny latitudes with their new skin that's adapted for overcast skies and long winters
If you're black then sun is like the last thing in the world that can harm you.

It's the provider of life because it's light is an energy source. Energy in the form of UV-A and UV-B can damage your skin cells.

Scandinavia makes up 3 of the top five

Which is bizarre to me. I lived there I have no idea how you would get enough sun to get skin cancer there unless it was getting mercilessly burnt on vacation. It was surreal to me in late summer literally being able to feel how weak the sun is there. And the people had more of a sort of golden undertone rather than the Anglo true pale/reddish undertone skin.
Gabriel Lopez
guess they took the adapting too far and got too white
maybe the sun is stronger than in the past? I don't' really know but then again I don't really know enough to know

Maybe it's the amount of time spent indoors actually.
>At the same time, new research on who gets melanoma and why began changing beliefs about the sun. In 2003, a landmark eight-year study of 106,379 Scandinavian women published in the (American) Journal of the National Cancer Institute by an international team linked melanoma to sunburns (not tanning), blonde or red hair, and numbers of moles on the legs.2 A second article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute solidified what had long been reported, but not quite believed: People regularly exposed to daily sun have a lower risk of getting melanoma and also have a higher survival rate if they do3 because regular sun exposure protects against burning, a finding later confirmed by a landmark 2008 World Health Organization (WHO) International Agency for Research on Cancer report.4
>This is the outdoor worker effect, when a chronic tan naturally waxes and wanes with the sun, growing darker with summer as the UV index intensifies, then fading with winter light.5 In the ancient pattern of life, human appearance would track the seasons, as it does for other animals, like the bear and its winter coat. The modern indoor worker—especially in wealthier classes—grows pale inside offices, homes, and malls, then plunges into irregular bouts of excessive sunlight on beach vacations or long weekends. This sudden, intense, intermittent pattern of sun exposure heightens melanoma risk, says Bruce Armstrong, internationally-known Australian epidemiologist and former Deputy Director of the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a co-author on the landmark sunburn and melanoma research.
note the last part
Grayson Price
ever womder why hobos who got deep tans dont have cancer from the sun exposure?
Jacob Roberts
Because they don't have the money to get diagnosed with cancer, among other things. I promise you the insides of their body look like a horror show.
Joshua Johnson
I bought some spf 100 the other day without realizing how much that shit STINKS! Smells horrible. I usually throw sunscreen on my face and shoulders before a run, but anything over spf 50 sucks ass. SPF 100 has such a high viscosity its hard to even apply.
(MED stands for minimum erythemal dose, i.e. how much UV was required for red sunburn to occur.)
John Smith
Fucks with your endocrine system. I wouldn't. Just get the amount of sun you need and then cover up or go inside.
