The risk of skin cancer for adults under the age of 50 is now decreasing for the first time in Sweden, according to a study from Karolinska Institutet published in JAMA Dermatology.
I don’t know what they’re up to in Sweden, but I still very much see young people having “burnt leathery skin”, which, btw, is the best term I’ve heard yet to describe it
You know, I did notice that but for Finland. I’ve never been there, but whenever I see those videos of walking tours around the country, I notice that a lot of the women are like jersey shore orange. I get that they need more sun exposure up there near the arctic though, but I hope they’re at least wearing sunscreen.
So if you burn in ten minutes, go out for 5 or 6 minutes, a couple times a day, protecting more sensitive skin with clothing as much as possible, reserving sunscreen for things that can’t be otherwise protected (nose, ears, etc). And use an old-school sunscreen that’s a physical barrier.
i was wondering when having disgusting burnt leathery skin would finally go out of fashion

Sunscreen defeats the purpose of sun exposure, as it blocks vitamin d production.
Much better just to get 20 minutes of sun a day, on as much skin as possible, without burning.

@isolatedscotch @solsangraal Imagine not just eating more carrots to get healthy skin.
