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!

[–] pleasegoaway@lemm.ee 7 points 18 hours ago

Yeah, and it’s also def NOT cheap.

that feels like water and when it's dry,

What does water feel like when it's dry?

[–] RedFrank24@lemmy.world 5 points 17 hours ago

Key word being "and".

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

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (4 children)

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. Imagine being ginger, there's a ginger tax called sunblock.

[–] GingerGoodness@lemmy.world 7 points 20 hours ago

As a ginger- the petrol money to go shop in Germany at DM or Rossmann is cheaper than the ginger tax here.

Cost of living in the UK is up 25% since Brexit happened in 2021.

We're a population of morons who will still blame anything but ourselves for the position we're in.

The British are the Americans of Europe, so that makes sense.

i get burnt with multiple layers of sun lotion

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

If the cream wasn't such a goddamn sensory nightmare...

Cheap is not the case everywhere. In Germany it's cheap, in the Netherlands it's much more expensive and in Croatia a bottle is like 25 Euro

[–] BlueLineBae@midwest.social 35 points 1 day ago (3 children)

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 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (3 children)

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. 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 was in Berlin last month and spent €16.50 for a 50ml bottle

Pour one out for the back of my calves. Every summer I forget.

I put on sun screen every morning to ward off basal cell skin cancer. It sucks but it's cheaper than going to the dermatologist to have basal cell skin cancer removed. The worst part is getting it in my eyes. On the plus side, the splotchy age spots on my temples have disappeared

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 42 points 1 day ago (14 children)

"ball of fire"

Haha, no no. You threw down with a gigantic source of cell destroying radiation. The fire did no harm.

[–] Chrobin@discuss.tchncs.de 27 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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.

My wife can spend all day in the sun and turn a nice shade of brown.

Not me. There is no "tan" for me. It's either pasty white or lobster with no middle ground whatsoever.
