I’m tired of reading articles about the evils of being outdoors because of skin cancer and aging the skin.

We’re supposed to be afraid of fresh air and sunshine?
We’re supposed to coat ourselves with manmade chemicals (sunscreen) the instant we step foot outside?
That way, even when we do get outside, our skin will not absorb the necessary ingredients for vitamin D production.

None of that advise ever made sense to me.

I don’t burn easily, so I rarely put on sunscreen.
2 of children have fair skin, so I let them go 1/2 hr to 1 hr without sunscreen and then apply it so they don’t burn.

Everything in moderation - that goes for the sun too.
