    mate it’s £5-10 for a 200ml bottle I’d hardly call that cheap

      In the city of Utrecht NL they have free sunblock stations spread around the city. It shows the temp and UV rating. But buying it in store is crazy expensive and often the quality is poor. Some fancy tiny spray bottles go up to 12 euros, only good for 3 to 4 uses. wtf.

      In the US it’s cheap but unregulated and full of shit that’s terrible for you. Or you can pay an arm and a leg for stuff that’s better but still not up to the standards of most other countries. I learned this by getting a chemical burn in my eye from sunscreen… meant for my face.

      • BorgDrone@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        In the US it’s cheap but unregulated

        It’s the exact opposite actually.

        US sunscreen is way worse than sunscreen in other parts of the world like the EU. It doesn’t block the harmful radiation as well as the sunscreen as well. The reason is that it’s more strictly regulated in the US. IIRC it’s not considered a cosmetic product but instead it’s a medical product.

        As such it’s subject to much stricter regulation and requires much more (expensive) testing before being allowed on the market. Due to this it’s considered too expensive to introduce the newer, more advanced sunscreen products in the US so you’re stuck with the older, crappier sunscreen.

        I guess you went to the wrong shop then. In pharmacies or shops open at crazy hours this might be true. We usually buy all products for Hygiene and beauty in shops we call “Drogerie”. The most common two chains are Rossmann and DM. There you get sun screen for 3-15€ from various Brands.

      Actually,

      There’s no fire in the sun. Fire is some material oxidizing, and that’s not what’s happening (or at least not in relevant amounts). What creates the radiation is nuclear fusion.

      Hypothetically speaking, will you get sunburnt if you sit near a fire all day?

      source
      • krashmo@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        The heat could dry out your skin, which, if I’m not mistaken, is essentially what a burn is. However, as the other person noted, a sunburn is damage from radiation, not heat. So I think you could stretch the common definition of a burn to call heat induced dry skin a burn but calling it a sunburn would not be accurate.

        The nuclear reactions occurring within the sun emit a wide spectrum of radiation, everything from sub-visible thermal radiation to high energy gamma rays. Thankfully, the Earth’s own electromagnetic field and ozone protects us from all but a tiny sliver of ionizing radiation or we wouldn’t be here to talk about it.

      Australia is a different beast though.

        Its not the ozon hole (well its a little bit the fault of the ozon hole) but its because due to the eleptical orbit of the earth around the sun the southern hemisphere is closer to the sun in summer than the north hemisphere.

      • merc@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Maybe tens of thousands of years ago, but 2000ish years ago 60ish was old age. The main reason life expectancy has gone up isn’t that old people didn’t make it to 50, it’s that young people didn’t make it to 2. If a couple has 5 kids, 3 of them die as toddlers and the other two make it to 70 the average life expectancy is about 30, but that doesn’t mean living past 30 is unusual.

        Also, tens of thousands of years ago there was an ice age, but for the last 10k years light-skinned Europeans still had normal summers and worked in the fields.

    It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

    (I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

    In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

    I would wear suncream more often, but:

    1. I’m allergic to something in most brands of suncream so if I run out I’m having to deal with rashes all over where I used it.
    2. I hate how it makes me feel slimy after using it

    There’s this Loreal suncream spray I like that I can’t seem to find that feels like water and when it’s dry, it doesn’t feel like you have suncream on. It’s perfect for me! I’m not allergic to it either so I can actually go in the sun without turning red and blotchy!

      I used to have that problem. I switched to 30 spf and don’t get burned anymore. I can’t really explain it, but my theory is that 50+ is marketing BS and doesn’t actually do anything. Or it could be that Banana Boat brand just really sucks and Hawaiian is more like lotion so it actually stays on my skin and also moisturizes, which probably helps because dry skin = gonna get burned.
