🫣 so you are going the two extreme paths lol

I am sometimes thinking there won't be enough exposure and pay the price later for not using it. Still I am getting a lot of tan even with sunscreen. How much does beef tallow protect?

It does not protect your skin at all.

It just hydrates it. It won't protect you from skin cancer or from getting tan. So if you are already skinburned, you can use it as a moisturiser.

πŸ˜‚πŸ™ hopefully not burning too often.

Honestly, I’m still new to this. This was my first time trying beef tallow as a sunscreen, so I can’t say for sure how well it prevents burning since I rarely burn. However, I did notice it enhanced my tan that day.

My girlfriend, on the other hand, has very fair skin and has been using beef tallow as a sunscreen for a while. It works for her. I remember she used to get sunburnt frequently growing up, but this time she had no burn at all. So, I guess it somehow works?

Burnt lips and two small places on each hand yesterday 😞 but usually it is not bad. Sometimes a lot sun makes me tired even without burning but that is probably just due to being outside doing stuff πŸ˜‚.

I am looking for some daily cream with enough protection that would not ruin clothes and would not smell much and would not be harmful, can you recommend something?

Peter πŸ‘€ Burt lips … omg I didn’t even think about lips burning πŸ₯΅

We need to #AskNostr because I’m not really sure what’s the best as I’m not usually protecting my skin as I basically never burn so it’s not something I think about much.

But for sure we need to find something for you if you are burning your lips 🫣 I’m guessing you already wear a hat? Because I would imagine that protects something from the sun.

It seems like rituals has some stuff with spf for lips. I haven't really expected that to happen but wind and clear sky on day full of hiking can apparently do that πŸ˜‚ still it was pretty much only place that I forgot to cover with suncreen or some clothes.
