[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]39. No wrinkles, no crow’s feet, no 11’s. No sun spots.

I run outdoors without sunscreen 6 days a week. I use drugstore moisturizer; I rotate based on what’s not going to break the bank. I’ve never had Botox, fillers, injections, or even a facial. I wash my face in the shower. I don’t use serums or special eye cream.

I drink a lot of water and electrolytes because I have to stay hydrated for my running schedule. I sleep 8-9 hours a night. I drink alcohol maybe once a month.

Go back to basics. [/quote]

You're crazy to not wear sunscreen. That's not "basics." [/quote]

Seriously. I don't believe for a minute that PP doesn't have any sun damage. If somehow this is true, all that sun is going to catch up to her with a vengeance in the next 10 years, though. [/quote]

Different poster - and eh, not necessarily. Things affect us all differently. Or maybe PP would have skin like a newborn now had she worn sunscreen and her skin now is what her sun damaged skin looks like.

No one else said this, that I saw - but I think we all have good reasons to be concerned about all the chemicals in sunscreen. It gets into your skin and your blood. Who knows what it's doing to your body. And it's definitely harming the environment, when it gets into the waterways. Wear a hat and long sleeves instead. That's what I think.[/quote]

It's been proven pretty definitively that the radiation getting into your skin is more harmful than any chemicals, as there are direct correlations between sun exposure and cancer and none between sunscreen use and cancer or any other disease. Although yes, hat and long sleeves are good too. [/quote]

I'm not a doctor or researcher so I'm just basing this on what I read - but it doesn't sound like we've had any good studies yet on what sunscreen does to your health

Yes, and we because we do have good information on what sun radiation does to your health, the article you link says to wear sunscreen:

[i]The American Academy of Dermatologists released a statement in response to the study, encouraging people to continue using sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher along with other protective measures.

“These sunscreen ingredients have been used for several decades without any reported internal side effects in humans,” AAD President George J. Hruza said in the statement. “Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, and dermatologists see the impact it has on patients’ lives every day. Unprotected exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays is a major risk factor for skin cancer.”

There were nearly 300,000 new cases of melanoma in 2018, making it is the 19th most commonly occurring cancer in men and women, according to the World Cancer Research Fund.

The FDA recommends applying sunscreen of SPF 15 or more every two hours, even on cloudy days; limiting your time in the sun especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun’s rays are most intense; and wearing clothing that covers skin that may be exposed to the sun, such as long sleeves and wide-brimmed hats.[/i][/quote]
