This isn’t skincare, it’s war paint for a battle that doesn’t exist. 💉🧴🌞 #bitcoin #nostr #livefree

I love supporting free thinking and such on here but we gotta be able to agree that skin cancer is VERY real and extremely preventable if we used innovations such as sun screen effectively

I’ll definitely say that mineral sunscreen is more sustainable than “chemical” sunscreen and the only thing to use near water due to the effects chemical sunscreen has on coral and other marine life

But, respectfully and with love, to make the argument that the “battle with the sun does not exist” is pretty reckless—it certainly does and while we need sunlight in moderation UV radiation literally scrambles our DNA and kills us quite badly if we don’t catch it in time

And to reiterate—this is 100% preventable with a little care and effort on our parts

And it’s just so avoidable in our modern world that to shrug off protecting our largest organ from almost certain destruction is absurdly silly to even consider in 2025 🫶🏼

For context, skin cancer has does numbers to people in my family, it’s so not worth it to go out that way when we can avoid it 🫶🏼

Modern sunscreen causes skin cancer. The problem is most people don’t prioritize sun exposure throughout the seasons and thus their skin is not acclimated to different times of the day / seasons.

If the sun was deadly to humans we wouldn’t be attracted to Tan skin.

Between our flickering lightbulbs, blue light, lack of sun exposure, and the use of synthetic sunscreen…those explain skin cancer.

1) No amount of acclimation can prevent getting sunburn if you spend 4hrs out in the sun in Saudi desert in the summer. I welcome you to prove me wrong g on this.

2) Attraction to the tanned skin is a distinctly western and quite modern ‘trend’. For a lot of Indians paler skin is more desirable and they sell skin whitening products. Until fairly recently in the west very pale skin was considered desirable.

Yes we burn from the prolonged exposure to heat, as anything does on the planet. That doesn’t mean the sun is bad.

So our bodies evolved to produce melanin over 1,000’s of years of living outdoors and our natural attraction to this is a modern trend? 🤔

“Yes we burn from the prolonged exposure to heat, as anything does on the planet. That doesn’t mean the sun is bad.”

But your assertion was that you won’t get burnt if you ‘acclimatise’.

“So our bodies evolved to produce melanin over 1,000’s of years of living outdoors and our natural attraction to this is a modern trend?”

Yes, the trend of what is considered ‘attractive’ is cultural not universal and changes over time. Try and find a painting from 18th century England where an ‘attractive’ person is depicted as being tanned. Being tanned meant you were poor and had to work outside for a living. People with ‘porcelain’ skin were considered to be beautiful.

Our skin cells don’t assimilate to social status. You’ll burn way less if you just get outdoors in the natural light year round. Why are you so adamant the sun causes skin cancer?

wymike 5mo ago

I never made that claim. All I said is that you cannot become immune to sunburn by spending more time outdoors, and, that what we consider attractive is cultural vs tanned skin being the universally accepted height of beauty.

We’ve seen humans fighting nature equates to disease but for some reason they look to nature as the cause instead of modern practices.

Don't forget about seed oils making people burn faster

Not to mention the Polyester clothing everyone wears now a days too.

Synthetic life but we blame nature.
