There is this pervasive myth that people with a darker complexion cannot get a sunburn and thus needn’t use sunscreen. As a consequence a lot of dark(er) people end up with a melanoma and they find out too late. Please, for the love of all that is good, wear sunscreen.
And theres also a myth that humans need sun screen lol. Acidic body + acidic sun =acid burns on skin.
You’re the person who clicks those “Surgeons Hate Her! Local Mom Discovers One Weird Trick To DIY Open-Heart Surgery!” ads, aren’t you?
THE IGNORANCE AND MEDIA BRAINWASHING IS ALIVE HERE
SUNSCREEN CAUSES CANCER, YOU GET SUNBURNS BC OF AN ACIDIC BODY AND YOU HAVE AN ACIDIC BODY BECAUSE OF SHITTY ASS FOOD.
You do know that non-human animals with bare skin get sunburned all the time, right? That’s why elephants, pigs, rhinos, etc all protect themselves from ultraviolet radiation by rolling in mud and dirt… you know… nature’s sunscreen.
Or, maybe elephants should just try an organic lemon juice detox…
My grandfather had skin cancer and my family is very pale, so my mother used a lot of sunscreen and put a lot of sunscreen on all 4 of her kids.
Funnily enough, my grandfather who didn’t use sunscreen got skin cancer, and the 5 of us who have been using sunscreen all our lives don’t have skin cancer.
And sunlight isn’t acidic.
Nor do acid burns look like that.
