Let’s talk about how the sun affects our outdoor activities!
I’ll start. I’m a pale gingerbeard so I plan for exposure. Anymore than >15 minutes anticipated sun exposure I sceen up. I snowboard so my nose and cheeks are perpetually red. I just got baked and now I’m going to the local park to see if scattered UV is a thing considering my sensitivity. Pic related me in May on the Gulf coast.
Do any of you have good sun protection tips? Novel gear? Stories?

I am half native Hawai'ian, so despite being white in appearance I do not burn! It takes longer to tan, which can be a frustrating!, but when my skin gets to a point where it is red I just wait two days and it turns into a moderate tan.
An emergency tip for sun protection is to rub dirt, or mud if you're able to, over your body to reduce exposure and possible retain water (?).
A good amount of sun time a day is healthy, keeps the superficial levels of fat at bay. Your body uses those layers to allow for tanning, so that is why tan and tone often go together. Just don't bronze or hurt yourself!

aloe vera is your friend, and it grows like a weed even in dry areas. Bring a small one in a pot or clip off some leaves to bring with you

go back to norwegia you cunts. some of us live in places where like 50% of the population is expected to have some kind of skin cancer in their lifetime
>wypipo in australia was never going to work out

also alœ vera, as soothing as it is on damaged skin, does not block UV and will not prevent cellular damage and sunburns.

part of skin damage from sunlight prevention is ensuring the skin is not dry- aloe vera does that. sunscreens are oily for a reason

UV rays go through water dumb dumb it’s why you still can burn on a cloudy day. Aloe Vera doesn’t protect against UV rays.

Never claimed it was some mystical magickal solution; just said it helped keep your skin moist.

Just my opinion, but when /out/ I don't give a single shit about what I look like, I'm wearing the dorkiest shit, I'm covered in dirt and pond scum
My hygiene rule is that I can get dirty enough for people to help me, but not so dirty that I get arrested, if that makes sense

Extremely white guy checking in.

Growing up, my mom was obsessed with having me wear sunscreen and preventing any kind of burn that could occur. I hated it because feeling oily and lotiony is gross and I hated how it got in the way of spontaneous outdoor activities. I turned into an 'indoor kid' for later years of my youth to just avoid the whole situation.
In my adulthood, I've reflected on the use of sunscreen and realized how absurd it is that modern man approaches this problem by smearing chemicals on the skin. The solution to this problem is simple enough that our ancestors figured it out: wear clothes.
Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, long-sleeved shirt and pants. They block the sun and you don't get burned.
If you're swimming or otherwise partially clothed, monitor your time in the sun and take breaks. Growing up, I would have swam with a T-shirt on. Now I know you don't have to do that or wear sunscreen if you sit in the shade for ~15min every 45 minutes or so.

Aloe Vera is also a godsend. OP you are dismissing a lot of great advice in this thread and I hope you come around to some of the guidance given to you.

not sure if it is OP, if so- that smiley face is a lie !
but aye, clothes and aloe vera are good
not being in direct sunlight constantly the whole time you are out is also very important

I live at 9k feet in the southern rockies, so the sun is absolute killer. Combine that with kayak fishing where you get even more of a UV dose from the reflection off the lake and the sunburns are legendary. A hat alone isn't enough because the reflection alone is enough to burn. Sunscreen sucks while fishing because it damages line and gear and stinks up your lures. I have learned to go full spaceman, I wear long sleeves, long pants, gloves, sunglasses, and a sun balaclava.

you can also get tanned and that way the extra melanin helps reflect UV

Aye. People are way too black and white thinking (no pun)- if you get regular and brief amounts of sun, you allow your body to understand 'ah so sun time is going to be often I better tan' and build up a defense
