I am perplexed by your perplexity, since I have clear evidence of sun damage on my face, despite wearing hats and doing my best to use sunscreen.

Right so why put it on in the morning? It protects me for 5-10 minutes when the sun is weak, around 9 am and then it stops working before I go out for lunch, right?

It loses effectiveness in two hours. It's doing nothing for you at lunch.

It's sufficient for my short period outside. Really without it I would burn.

You couldn't be wrong. You just don't know what you are talking about...do you know how many people die from skin cancer each year?

But sure...fuck it. It's only cancer.

Not if you put it on again....

The medical reports say otherwise. Mind putting it on half you face, going to lunch hours later, and reporting back?
