Time to clarify the age old question of whether wearing sunscreen indoors is necessary

[Deleted member 6573]

There are two types of UV radiation, UVB (causes cancer) and UVA (causes skin aging)

Since this is a looksmax sub we won't give a fuck about the former

From Duarte et al 2009

Direct your attention to table 2. Taking the type of glass with the lowest level of protection (smooth, ordinary at a thickness of 0.2cm), UVA is negligible 25cm away from the source. At 50cm, there was no detected UVA.

A quote from the study:
"...in the case of UVA radiation, the transmission would be insufficient to produce actinic damage, given that not only does the glass block a large proportion of the radiation but also small changes in the distance from the emission source significantly decrease the irradiation."

Verdict. You do not need to wear sunscreen unless you plan on sitting in front of a clear window without blinds for an extended period of time. Otherwise it is just a waste of product. This is true even if you use photosensitive actives such as retin a or ahas.

[ageistheblackestpill]

SPF25 ongeacht of ik binnen zit of niet.

 

[JustAFewMM]

fuck it i wear it always

My grandparents and all the other people in their village worked hard in the fields all day, exposed to the sun and they were fine, this whole sunscreen thing is simply stupid, humans have always been exposed to the sun without any problems, only recently there's this propaganda that the sun and UV rays are somehow dangerous.

High spf Sunscreen is kind of expensive too. Could it be a Jewish scam?

Yes goy, expose yourself to sun as much as you can without any protection.

Today I learned hats are a recent invention and long sleeve clothes

Probably, the average western person is underexposed to sunlight, because he spends most of his time indoors, he doesn't need sunscreen, in poor countries with an economy based mostly on agriculture, a huge part of the population spends the time outside working and there aren't really more cancer cases there.

Nigga, is very difficult for a westerner to spend too much time outside in the sun, since most of the work and activities are based in inside spaces.

Should be common sense, I'm sitting next to sun though Rest in RIP.

Was she on a strict white dick diet or did she give gooks like her a chance ?

Time to clarify the age old question of whether wearing sunscreen indoors is necessary

It's silly to wear sunscreen indoors. And expensive. And inconvenient. And you certainly don't need it in cars, windshields now offer some UVA protection, and learning from the past, many modern cars now have protection on the sides as well. This ain't tinted glass, but clear glass with a film that converts UV rays to wavelengths that give off heat, not photoaging, not skin cancer.

Where I'd spend most of the day, I'd want UV film. If you doubt UVA getting through, then look at wooden floors, wooden walls. They change color as they're exposed to the sun. In museums they need UV film so the paintings don't change color, even though they're far from the windows. Where there's daylight, there's UVA, that's the general rule.

Anyways. To get piece of mind, one could buy a UVA meter from Amazon. Try it 2-3 days, measure and get proper results, and return it.

hmmm interesting, really makes you think
i mean it makes sense for the human skin no to be evolutionary adapted to prolonged sun exposure because primitive people, on average, didn't have an impressive average life expectancy, therefore didn't live long enough to experience the effects sun has on skin (usually they'd die really young from some infection or disease jfl). technically, the sun STILL is a deadly laser, until we evolve skin that could potentially block the rays from propagating (and potentially keeping us away from the formation of pirimidine dimers).
i think the effects of sunlight are real, but i don't have an explanation for the case of your gramps. and dont bullshit me by saying they dont have a single wrinkle or scar cos that shit is unrealistic.

yeah pretty much this
use spf 50 when you go outside jfl
no need to use it inside or in the car wtf that's just useless

Car windows are usually have UV film, coming from the factor.

But "If you doubt UVA getting through [house windows], then look at wooden floors, wooden walls. They change color as they're exposed to the sun."

I wrote about about photoaging here

This is a common meme. You have more diseases and will live less than primitive people. Millenials and zoomers by large will live less than boomers.

no it doesn't jfl, brown/black people are adapted to prolonged sun exposure, melanin helps protect the skin from UV rays

primitive people, on average, didn't have an impressive average life expectancy,

if you exclude miscarriages/infant mortality which were very common back then, the life expectancy shoots up
