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

Do you do this?

Should we all do this?

Schnitzel Muncher · 13-05-2013 06:52PM

No, I don't do this.

Feel free to do this yourself.

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

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 13-05-2013 06:55PM

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

The Backwards Man · 13-05-2013 06:56PM

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.

hfallada · 13-05-2013 07:08PM

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 · 13-05-2013 07:09PM

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 · 13-05-2013 07:38PM

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

I probably should though.

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

13-05-2013 07:39PM

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

Mint Sauce · 13-05-2013 07:41PM

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.
