Why Wearing Sunscreen Every Day is a Bad Idea

One thing I always want to stay ahead of and make sure I am educating my fellow health accumulators about is staying away from things that have a semblance of health benefit but are in fact just a façade.
Many times these things are over simplifying how the body works are or trying to put a one size fits all for every human on the planet.
One of these seemingly healthy habits is using sunscreen on a daily basis. However, when we apply sunscreen every day, we are not only missing out on the benefits of the sun but we are applying chemicals that just stay on our skin, they absorb into our blood stream, and use up precious resources as they are detoxified. If we don’t have enough resources they end up bogging down our liver and get stored in our fat cells many of which are highly estrogenic and promote hormone related cancers like breast cancer.
When you do use sunscreen, I would look for sunscreen with zinc oxide and specifically uncoated zinc oxide. The reason being is that coated zinc oxide is a nanoparticle that is highly reactive and due to its small size can easily penetrate the skin barrier and enter the blood stream. Coated zinc oxide is harmful if you inhale it and contributes to the break down of coral reefs.
The three brands I know use aluminum free uncoated zinc oxide are BeautyCounter, All Good and Badger.

As a person who have sensitive oily and acne prone skin Im happy to see this! Sunscreen (whatever brand and types) always clog my pores! So i decided to stop using it and just wearing my other skincare, my skin is healing, clearing and feeling more comfort. I dont care whatever expert said otherwise but my skin keep irritate if i use one! Its like my skin is telling me no, better to hear my own skin than people's mouth for sure

@brittei Год назад

This all sounds very reasonable. I’ve been struggling with whether or not to wear sunscreen because I want to take care of my skin, but I don’t want those chemicals. I think a moderate approach is the answer. My dad is outside all the time and he has a wonderful tan and looks GREAT at age 70. But he also doesn’t TRY to be in the sun, he’s just outside doing things and wearing a hat. I think people have forgotten what moderation is, and there are consequences for that.

So true! Laying out sunbathing on a regular basis or working out in the sun for hours without wearing a head covering is likely to age the skin excessively and increase the risk of basal and squamous cell skin cancers but so is eating processed food :)

I’m From Australia and the sun here is not something to play around with. I understand that the sun is beneficial and crucial for our health, but when high amounts of uv rays are hitting you on a day to day basis it comes a point when you need something like sunscreen to protect yourself.

@DrWholeness Год назад

Yes, being normal about sun exposure is high value. Wearing long sleeves or wide brimmed hat is a good idea mid-morning to mid afternoon in high sun exposure area. However, "We can find no consistent evidence that use of chemical sunscreens reduces the risk of melanoma." Green et al. 2011 And then there is the part where a person is applying known human and environmental toxins to their body every day. What are the consequences of that?

@thehylander266 2 года назад

You make some faulty conclusions here. First of all, sunburn is NOT the only thing that’s harmful to the skin. UVB rays are, yes, and they burn, but so too are UVA rays which burn very little but penetrate the skin much deeper and continual exposure to that does break down collagen fibers and elastin in the skin, leading to aging of the skin. And home windows do NOT block out all the UVA rays. We don’t need exposure all day every day to UVA for good health. Just because we do and it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good. Appeal to nature fallacy. Over your lifetime UVA radiation adds up in terms of DNA damage and aging and skin cancer risk. Just ask most nurses about the butts of elderly people. It’s usually the best looking skin on their bodies and it’s mostly because it’s the least exposed to UVA throughout our lifetimes. That’s what UVA does to our skin. Most people get the benefits of sun with sunscreen on top because the parts of your body such as your hair which doesn’t have sunscreen get it. And even then we only need little, not tons of hours per day.

@johncherskov5755 3 месяца назад

You don't need it to survive. Also as stated they have no clue what half of the ingredients do, other than how much SPF/blockage they are rated for; one scientific one which did this, even notes that some of it may be absorbed through the skin, which is true, but no study on what that may do over time. However, I would say it does help. I usually get some kind of annoying spot or blistering, and live in the tropical areas. This is especially true at peak UV hours, it only takes like a few minutes to possibly cause an issue that will take 1-2 weeks to heal fully. It is 'hugely noticable' to go someplace at like 9AM at beginning UV hours vs like 1PM, unless you truly do not care at all. The thing is it does not block 'everything'. You seem to be making that assumption. It just seems to prevent those major damages, the sunscreen will lighten or take most of it. You would notice if you actually try it on a really directly sunny environment. Also darker skin tones simply 'mask' these problems, so they still have them, but they don't even notice/see them. That is also why people wear protective wear from the sun regularly; you really think you need sun protection only for visual effect? You will still tan and get reactions, even with some of it, but I notice that afterward, there are simply none or far less issues, whereas ignoring it may potentially cause an issue. It will still cause a noticable difference and it is better to use it. Of course don't simply use any, use a trusted brand and test no bad reactions from it due to varying ingredients.
