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

Tom_Cruise

Do you do this?

Should we all do this?

Schnitzel Muncher

No, I don't do this.

Feel free to do this yourself.

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

qo2cj1dsne8y4k

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

The Backwards Man

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..

Shenshen

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.

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

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!

Ihatecuddles-old

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

I probably should though.

Is that where EdenHazzard got to!?!?!! :eek:

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

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.

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.

We live in Ireland. When is it ever sunny?

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

We have a natural sun screen. Its called those ****ing grey clouds above us and its there 95% of the year.

And this is why drinking Guinness is good for you.

I know there are still UV rays even when it doesn't look sunny but wearing lotion every day seems like overkill even for someone vain. I'd say aging well has a lot to do with genetics and our diet, with topical creams etc playing a very small part after that.

Yes it is. A product can be labelled "anti aging" if it has SPF in it. Google "truck driver sun"

jam_mac_jam

yeah, factor 40 cream most days, don't always think of it in the winter but most days yes.

newsunglasses

If im going to be out in the direct sunlight for a prolonged period of time,then ill use it,otherwise no.

I usually buy my sunscreens in the winter months,as they are trying to get rid of stock and they usually slash the prices.

I seen some good spf's in dealz recently and picked up a bottle,it would prevent me from getting sunburn/tan,just like a regular sun block would,and i would pay more if it was nivea or ambre solaire etc..



As a total ageing product though?Sun block does not prevent over all ageing of the face,the jowls will still sag with our without excessive sun exposure..

Although you will have less creases and sunspots on the surface of your skin.

No amount of face lifts,tucks and so on can prevent ageing of the face,look at joan collins and all the work she had done.You can still tell she is old..

I wear factor 80 every day, makes me look like I fell in a pot of emulsion

Eurovisionmad

It may stop you from ageing quite so quickly but it really doesn't help fend off the onset of wankeritis.

If you have a head, get a hat: something with a wide brim like a cricket hat. That plus long sleeves, who needs sunscreen? :cool:

Like a crocodile Dundee hat? Good advice.

Don't the little nano particles in sunblock get in to your bloodstream and give you Alzheimers/that sorta illness?

Read that.
