Anecdotal Intro
I had a full skin care routine, both morning and night which involved sunscreen as the books and articles I read advised. I thought I was smart. I met a 40 year old Chad that smoked constantly, never worked out, and had teenage girls and young women giggling around him, staring at him, and trying to talk to him, although he had someone. His skin was a bit spotty, but he looked very masculine, more than me despite having less muscle, being shorter, and not working out. He also wore round sunglasses. This doesn't prove anything but it was enough to trigger me to do some real research.
The state of the Research and Public Perception of Sunscreen
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunscreen
Before we go into depth I want to get this out of the way. You are on a black pill website, you know some main stream ideas are bullshit.
Using the above wikipedia link as an example, let's take this sentence from the subsection "risks" as specific example "Sunscreen ingredients typically undergo extensive review by government regulators in multiple countries, and ingredients that present significant safety concerns (such as PABA) tend to be withdrawn from the consumer market "
Total fucking bullshit and false, like a significant portion of all wikipedia articles and I'm going to show you how. But first, understand money influences public perception in ALL forms of media including wikipedia. In the case of wikipedia, you pay a company like bellow that has influence. If you don't think sunscreen companies are paying for the sunscreen wikipedia article and other sunscreen articles on the web to be modified then you are a fucking idiot, no offence. Targeting hierarchical sources of influence as close to the "root" nodes as possible is the most efficient use of capital in marketing, and this basic strategy has been in marketing books dating back to the 1800s.
But the "source" node for influence isn't the Wikipedia entries themselves, it's the "research". This is influenced by companies along with the Wikipedia articles which then source the bullshit "study" or "news article". Welcome to how the world really works. Now there are legit studies buried under the sea of bullshit that you can find, and we'll get to those. There typically are a few legit studies to find in most fields but you have to do some work and sift through a good amount of industry influenced bullshit to find them.
When it comes to the "research" there are bunch of bullshit meta studies that attempt to twist the evidence to show that sunscreen is "safe" and you should be applying globs and globs of it every 20 minutes all over your exposed skin. I won't be wasting your time with that cucked propaganda (aka bad science) that intentionally measures all the wrong variables. [1] [2] [3] [5].
Ok... let's get into this...
Oxybenzone
Oxybenzone one of the most common ingredients in Sunscreen and absorbs through the skin and into your blood stream. [4]
This research is government funded (FDA). Most of the private funded research I came across is only about sunscreens benefits, and will spin facts like this if they bring them up at all.
For blood concentrations oxybenzone levels were 180 times the FDA's level of concern after just one application of sunscreen. After four days of application blood levels were 400 times the FDAs level of concern. After three weeks of stopping sunscreen application blood levels were still elevated although they were much lower. [6]
The reason the FDA allows this is because sunscreen got grandfathered in from being on the market before the FDA had stricter testing regulations. For years now the FDA has required sunscreen manufactures to do studies on things such as cancer rates caused by blood absorption of sunscreen which the Sunscreen corporations have ignored and not done the studies. Lol [6]. Starting in 2021 Hawaii is banning the sale of sunscreens with oxybenzone and octinoxate but that's mostly because it's killing the coral reefs which hurts tourism profits (21% of the states economy aka tax dollars), the government gives zero fucks about you.
In lab studies, Oxybenzone is a weak estrogen and has potent anti-androgenic effects [4]. Androgens are chemicals that regulate the development of secondary sexual characteristics. So Androgens make you attractive and anti-androgens make you ugly if you are a man. Anti-androgens work by blocking the effects of androgens like testosterone so they will also result in less muscle mass, and a less masculine look.
If you're trans M to F, you might take anti-androgens to appear less masculine. But you're here, so you're not M to F trans.
In short sunscreen will make you look more like a typical feminized beta reddit user. (not attractive to women)
There are other ingredients in Sunscreen that absorb into your blood stream, some with currently unknown effects. Would you put a syringe with one chemical that will make you less masculine, and other chemicals with unknown effects, stab it into your arm and pump it into your blood stream?
Because that's what you are doing by putting these chemicals onto your skin and letting them absorb into your blood stream.
But it's not just the FDA, here's a private randomized clinical trial showing these chemicals absorb into your blood from sunscreen and urging further research (which will never happen because there's no profit motive). [9]
Octinoxate
In the same study [4], the FDA found levels 13 times above their cut-off for systemic exposure of Ocitinoxate. Another widespread sunscreen chemical that will absorb right into your blood stream and stay there for weeks.
Guess what? Ocitinoxate is estrogenic and has neurological effects. So yet another chemical in sunscreen that will make you look more feminine and less attractive to women. It's also shown to DAMAGE HUMAN CELL DNA. These genome mutations may lead to serious health risks. [7]
Same study [4] the FDA found sunscreen elevated blood levels of homosalate 37 times the cut off for systemic exposure. Homosalate is also widespread in sunscreens.
And you know what? Homosalate also has estrogenic effects, but this time acting on both estrogen receptors and androgen receptors, as if all the other chemicals haven't turned you far enough into a pathetic looking cuck face.
Also homoslate is toxic to fresh water algea and aquatic echosystems [10], despite lack of human studies on toxicity. Why the fuck would you pump that shit into your blood stream?
Octocrylene
FDA found this also goes directly to your blood stream, 14 times the cut-off for systemic exposure. [4]
This increases the production of free radicals in your skin when under illumination (bad for you) [14] and triggers mitochondrial dysfunction in coral reefs. "What about mitochondrial dysfunction in human cells?" you might ask, has there been any studies? Well, no. Because no one gives a fuck about you, they only care about profiting off of you. They care about coral reefs because that increases tourism profits. But something that triggers mitochondrial dysfunction on a fucking plant... and has no mitochondrial dysfunction studies on human cells... you really want to pump that shit into your blood stream?
Sun Avoidence – Travel & Place of Residence
UV Radiation is still a known carcinogen.
Sun avoidance is preferable to sunscreen, always. You should be taking Vitamin D daily anyways because obtaining it from the sun may damage your skin, and most people are deficient in Vitamin D, one of the most important hormones for human health and testosterone
(Above) World map of UV exposure. Living in areas with low UV exposure, at least while you accrue money and looks max is ideal. High UV exposure areas tend to be lower income where you will have higher SMV when you travel there. I could write an entire essay on why that is, but in regards to the topic this is all you need to know.
Sun Avoidance time of Day
Plan travel for lower UV times of the day when possible. This is possible when you work from home or are your own boss (You can do it). I'll cover other methods but this is the best way to avoid UV damage, and should be your primary method.
Sun Glasses
Sunglasses offer UV protection for occasions where you can't avoid going out during the day. Look for sunglasses that say they have 100% UVA/UVB protection.
Circadian Rhythm
One down side to Sunglasses as well as sun avoidance is that your circadian rhythm will have weaker regulation. It is therefore even more important to only sleep at specific types, exercise in the morning or mid day, have a wind down bed time routine, use black out curtains, use F.lux, and use a sleep journal to figure out additional sleep improvements if required.
Clothing with upf protection
Hats, Long sleeve shirts, gloves etc.
If you are low inhib enough, and you have to go outside during higher UV times you can wear something like this.
These kind of things are worn in black pilled countries like Japan. Clothing is preferable to sunscreen because it doesn't absorb into your blood stream and have estrogenic, anti-androgenic, and neurological effects.
Conclusion
Avoid High UV times of day as much as you can, but if you can't at least wear some sun glasses.
Also if you use a moisturizer in your skin care routine your sunscreen is fucking the effects of your moisturizer and your moisturizer is fucking the effects of your sunscreen so you're double fucking yourself both ways.
