Do you wear sun screen every day to prevent you from aging faster?

    Do you do this?

    Should we all do this?

    No, I don't do this.

    Feel free to do this yourself.

    I live in Ireland. That's all the sunscreen I need :(

    Yes I do I make sure I have an SPF in my foundation and my moisturiser.

    I don't think that's what sunscreen is for. . .

    You cannot defy gravity,although as your face sags the skin surface will still look good.

    Its kind of like people who get botox,they fail to understand it doesnt hollistically deal with the ageing process of the face,the face will still sag,but you wont have as many creases..

    In Ireland?
    No....

    I mean, I did get sunburnt here before, but on a day-to-day basis I'm stuck in the office far too long to be at any kind of risk.

    Sun light ages your skin faster(wrinkles etc) so it slows your skin in terms of ageing.

    I have my factor 30 on most days and in Summer I use factor 50.

    I'm ginger. I don't wear sunscreen to prevent me from aging faster, I wear sunscreen so that I can survive long enough to age at all.

    You'd actually want to be careful doing that in Ireland as most of the time we don't get anywhere near the amounts if direct sunshine that other parts of the world get.

    You need sunlight to produce vitamin D and unnecessarily screening normal levels of light could make you deficient in it.

    Yeah but the OP makes it sounds like it slows down time, like some sort of time machine. All it does is hide wrinkles.

    I don't go out - too sunny...

    I don't, but I know a dermatologist who puts on at least factor 30 every day before leaving the house.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭hfallada


    Maybe in California or Florida to stop you looking like a prune. But there was hail today and its mid may so i dont like sun cream is a must


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,227 ✭✭✭Solair


    Main thing is don't intentionally tan yourself. A lot of Irish people seem to try tanning even though they're completely incapable of tanning.

    More of a risk in Ireland of the sun cream running into your eyes with all the rain!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,785 ✭✭✭Ihatecuddles-old


    I don't even wear sunscreen on holidays...

    I probably should though.

    No, but I wear it (when I remember to) because I go lobster red at a glimpse of sun


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,293 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    I spend 12 hours a day at work. Half the year its dark going there and coming home.

    Think I'll be grand.

    Every day???
    If I'm buying a moisturiser or foundation I do try to pick ones with SPF, or if it's really sunny I'll wear sun cream.

    But IMO, life's too short to wear makeup every day, or moisturise ever day, and definitely too short to apply sun cream every day. Never mind doing it just for the sake of aging!

    We're all going to age ffs, I'd rather spend my time living (and annoying people on the internet) than trying to stall the aging process.

    Yeah but the OP makes it sounds like it slows down time, like some sort of time machine. All it does is hide wrinkles.

    I'm giving the OP the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps he's intending on combining a modified flux capacitor with sun cream allowing for the sun to act as the power source, resulting in a potential reversal in terms of one's age...... It does seem as if Tom Cruise has acquired such a device.

    I reckon Tom Cruise IS Eden Hazard. Who else would start this thread ? What are the odds there are two of them ?
