For the purpose of this question, the target age range is 20-30. Asking because I feel like I’m wasting my youth.

      If you absolutely hate sunscreen for sensory reasons, check out UPF jackets and other clothing. I live in a place where the UV is 11+ every day in the summer and it works great without being suffocatingly hot. Being able to just throw a jacket on and go outside without worrying about sunburn is pretty great.

      Oh yeah this one. Plus, wear a hat. My hairstylist found skin cancer on my scalp a year or two ago and now I have a bald spot where they removed it because scalp skin doesn’t have a whole lot of excess to close a wound. So cute. Thankfully, I can hide it, but it pretty much requires me to wear my hair up every day.

      Eta: I feel like it should go without saying, but maybe doesn’t, that I was incredibly lucky that it was basal cell, not melanoma. A big scar is one of the best outcomes I could’ve had.

      Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.

      The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives,

      some of the most interesting 40 year olds I know still don’t.

      I recommend face moisturizer with SPF for all genders. Put it on every morning. Start young.

        Get sunscreen that you don’t mind applying in the morning.

        Does it last all day or were you just suggesting morning because some people forget it until later?
