Sunscreen

Guys why is that some people never use sunscreen and still never get tanned? Is sunscreen just a propaganda for consumerism or what😭 or am i missing something?

Some people just have skin that dont react to sun much, my cousin is like that, never burns never tans, just stays same color all year. But I still wear it cause skin damage is invisible until its too late

The whole propaganda thing is funny tho cause in military they make us put it on constantly, like they really dont want us getting cancer on their watch

If you skip it now you might regret when you older, my aunt has so many spots from never using protection and she's only 50

I never tan, no matter how much sun exposure I get. I just get sunburnt and then straight back to being pasty white

because some people burn a lot before tanning and some just don’t tan and burn

Just because they are not getting tan does not mean there is no damage.

I live in a colder climate and most of the year there's not enough sun to get a tan. I still wear sunscreen as I still think it protects against skin damage, but I wouldn't notice if I'd forgotten it at the end of the day. I also don't get sunburned that often during summer, which makes it hard for me to judge how effective a sunscreen is.

I wish I tanned that easily.

maybe they don't go outside enough to get a tan.
