Why do we have to wear sunscreen? - Kevin P. Boyd

View full lesson: ed.ted.com/lessons/why-do-we-h...
You already know that a trip to the beach can give you a nasty sunburn, but the nitty gritty of sun safety is actually much more complex. Wrinkle-causing UVA rays and burn-inducing UVB's can pose a serious risk to your health (and good looks). So what can you do? Kevin P. Boyd makes the case to slap on some physical or chemical SPF daily.

    Love that. "Avoid the sun during peak hours: between 10 - 4." Also known as "the daytime."

    I'm from the Philippines. I came from a community of fishermen, our skin is always exposed to sun more than 5hrs everyday since childhood but no one in our entire community had experienced skin cancer even the old ones. We never used sunscreen not even once. Yet we looked younger and don't have much wrinkles. Why is that?

    That ageing part is more effective than the cancer scare, because people today fear looking old more than they fear death :D

    I prefer the more time tested sun blockers, such as Persian arrows.

    I wish there was a type of sunscreen that you didn't have to apply but could just consume like a pill.

    This video made me feel better about being too lazy to tan despite all the society pressure.

    My brother in law says that it's a scam and it's just to gain profit for companies. He lectures me about it's not important to use one. I'll still continue to use coz there's a lot of sources about how bad not to use sunscreen.

    Wish he would explain a little more about the chemicals that some sunscreens contain, especially Oxybenzone that seems to be a very questionable ingredient.

    Hope you guys do another video about the effects of lack of sunlight.
