As a physician, I often argue with dermatologists about their scaring the bejeezus out of everyone re skin cancer. Too much sunscreen is hazardous to your health. Allow 20 minutes of skin exposure and then apply sunscreen...that's all you need do.
Living in the northeast, I take no Vit D supplements during the summer, but I do take cholecalciferol during the fall, winter and spring.

It isn’t uncommon for me to spend 3-4 hours outside during the afternoon...in Tucson, in summer. I primarily use sunscreen on my face, where I can burn and blister very easily.
I use the tan rule. If I tan without burning, it is OK. For an hour, I can handle most anything. Times longer than that deserve some help.

cholecalciferol = Vit D3
