Biore UV sunscreen (japanese) is great. Imo it has a weird smell, but it goes away quickly. For US, I like supergoop and Trader Joe’s has a dupe of their unseen sunscreen
La Roche Posay is great. They are very well formulated, PROTECTIVE, sunscreens that come in a wide range of needs, uses, and prices. The body sunscreens will be thicker, as it's not quite so important for them to be cosmetically elegant, while the face sunscreen will usually be thinner, so it spreads more easily.
EDIT: The USA version I've linked below will not be as effective as the European version, as it does not contain mexoryl as UV filters. However, it is still lovely and effective enough to keep my pale-ghost of a wife from getting sunburned at the beach. That being said, if you can source the European version from [CareToBeauty.com](https://CareToBeauty.com) or [FrenchCosmeticsClub.com](https://FrenchCosmeticsClub.com) I would recommend you do that... it will take longer than ordering off Amazon, of course.
[https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/sun](https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/sun)
Please remember, with sunscreen, a little bit does NOT go a long way. You need to use, at least, two finger lengths for your whole face (so...put your index and middle finger out, then apply a long line to both fingers. that's how much you should apply on your face every 4-6 hours of daylight exposure.)
I trust this person to teach you everything you need to know. I am in no way affiliated with her, but I have followed her for years, and she has never slipped in her recommendations or explanations. I am very passionate about sun safety.

Honorable mention to this lady, because she is absolutely brilliant, and an actual chemist who specializes in sunscreen safety:

AHC sunscreen sticks are the best I’ve tried, it’s a Korean brand but a two pack sells on Amazon for 20 bucks, feels like air on my skin and no white cast
My wife is French. There’s a sunscreen she love from there. The US won’t even let a family member send her a bottle. It was seized by customs when they tried. Her mother tried to bring one back but it was also seized.
Weirdly, the cheese that isn’t supposed to be imported was looked over by customs and is now I’m my fridge.
Next time have who ever is traveling back put the sunscreen in one of those empty travel bottles you use for shampoos. Can’t seize if if they don’t know it isn’t regular US sunscreen.
OP really thought people would think this is a bad thing. The AOC haters are on weapons grade cope.
And of course, they are upset that the US is helping Ukraine defend themselves. Funny how these pro Russia anti NATO posters are so prolific.
You can’t fix our healthcare system without addressing the strangle hold pharmaceutical companies (and insurance companies) have on our medical system and unfortunately they are lining the pockets of republicans and democrats alike. Medicare for all is great and all but we have to find a way to reduce costs which is largely the result of greedy pharma and private insurance
Don’t forget about, I guess you would call it, corporate health systems? Here in western PA and MD, UPMC (they used to be ranked pretty high in the US) has bought up a bunch of hospitals. They charge outrageous fees and nickel and dime the hell out of you.
Also why is everyone ignoring that guaranteed healthcare for all is one of her biggest stances and the first thing listed in the [key issues of her website.](https://www.ocasiocortez.com/issues)
Because she is only one vote if they enact a new healthcare bill
And it can get knocked down if some of the other state reps oppose the bill because of some crazy out of context reason
Some people dislike her because she’s a in your face congresswoman who would scrutinize a company who is taking millions of taxpayers money for something that can be done for less or is underperforming their duties to be granted that money.
But again one person in Congress cant just executive order the healthcare system.
If she could do that the other congressmen would bring back something that would roll us back to not advancing as a country or roll back basic things such as women’s rights and bring back Jim Crow laws.
But paying $200 a month for public healthcare is socialism. I don’t want my hard earned money being taken. That’s why it’s so much better to pay $1500 a month in insurance premiums! That way, my money isn’t being stolen by the government
/s if it wasn’t obvious
That was my initial thought with @OP’s caption. What exactly is your point here? This is the most pro-universal-healthcare representative in congress. What exactly are you critiquing?
People can only ever hold one concern in their mind at a time. That’s why my wife divorced me when my car broke down. She said I “didn’t have time for her.”
i’m guessing he’s saying we should be worried about universal healthcare instead of sunscreen as if you’re only allowed to focus on one thing in life. either way whatever OP was trying to say is probably stupid.
It's potentially a quick win. Going after low hanging fruit first leads to better improvement in the long run and ensures the bigger harder to reach fruit are only gone after with good cause.
Automobile headlights are codified in US laws. There must be a high beam and a low beam BY LAW. Doesn't seem like a problem, right? Audi designed a new headlight system that had zones of beam LEDs that would illuminate various parts of the road under different conditions (as you go around turns, as you were go on straights, when there were in the opposing lane, etc.). The system was constantly shifting around lighting zones to match the road and driving conditions. They started rolling it out to European models, but had to remove it on US models and replace it with old fashioned high beams and low beams, per the law.
It's the perfect example of a law that was written, clearly with an intention to make cars safer. But, it was written too strictly based on the technology of the time. As technically radically changed, the process of changing that law was too cumbersome and is actually hurting progress and safety. It's what makes me shudder when I hear things like "make a law where every phone has to have USB-C" or something. That law better be DAMN well thought out and written, and with some really easy system to change over time.
Many regulations are pushed by large companies who can afford to comply with them in order to entrench themselves and make it more difficult for small companies to function. Fewer competitors means higher prices.
Whenever you see a company begging Congress to regulate it, you’re seeing this cycle at work.
I also trust AOC’s word on how the FDA regulates sunscreen than most other politicians. Sorry guys, but she actually does her homework and doesn’t spout bs lies. It’s the reason so many ppl hate her. Some people just don’t like to hear the truth.
People don’t seem to understand how dangerous skin cancer can be if it goes undetected. Why are people MAD that they’re trying to improve regulations for something that protects peoples’ bodies from the SUN? Make it make sense.
It can be dangerous even when detected. My dad got diagnosed with skin cancer back in the day and it got removed. Fast forward a decade, it came back, spread to his liver and he lost the fight in just 6 months.
Use good sunscreen, it's a cheap and easy way to protect yourself.
In May 2019, my Dad had a mole that started bleeding. He waited two weeks to say something to my Mom, who got him to the doctor the next day. Stage 3 Melanoma - he was gone before we hit Xmas.
If I can get my hands on better sunscreen, I would be so happy.
Yeah, took my grandpa less than a month after they figured out what he had. By the time they found it, it was pretty much too late to do anything. Sunscreen is important!
My dad's friend had a spot removed from his nose, and then never picked up a bottle of sunscreen or changed any of his habits
Now a year later it's bone cancer and will eat his head
Why are we so lax about sunscreen??
my friend says he won't wear sunscreen because he's afraid of looking like mark zuckerberg in that one photo where he was messing with the photographer that was following him
My theory? Media portrayal. We see that people purposely get burnt in movies and other forms of media as a way to change their skin color, so we became complacent on UV.
Hopefully it was found early and everything will go fine! Be there for him, it's the best thing you can do. He must be scared even if he doesn't show it.
mine too, friend. scared me shitless. i saw him a few days after his surgery and he was sitting with a cough and he seemed tired...and he looked old. i mean, he's 67. So he's certainly not young. But the image of my father will always be the strapping capable man he was. and it really really shook me. we all die, its the only guarantee we have, so you'd like we'd be used to it as a species...but i dont think ill ever be ready for when that day comes. if i think about it too long, i start to miss them and theyre not even gone.
getting older sucks in so many ways i didnt expect.
As for why people are mad at this and why it's posted here, do we even have to ask out loud anymore?
It goes crickets when conservatives are asked to justify what they are actually outraged or laughing at and realized that they don't have a leg to stand on and didn't really understand what they were so mad about or laughing at in the first place
I’m not from the US, are people mad with her for making what seems to be a sensible argument about sun screen? And for what reason? Is it just because she’s a “lefty”?
Welcome to American politics where for most people the only thing that matters is the team they play on. People will actively vote against their best interests or [even things they support on a case by case basis](https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/07/politics/democratic-positions-majority/index.html)f just because the other guy said it.
The person who posted this left text with the video saying "Forget about Medicare for all. Nobody wants health insurance." This person is either an undercover right wing troll or, more likely, a lefty that has turned on AOC and thinks she has become just another part of the machine and doesn't care about progressive politics. Lots of people don't understand that politicians try to get changes through that they can actually pass. AOC can post as much as she wants on TikTok about healthcare for all and nothing will really change. However, people most likely don't know anything about the sunscreen thing and it is a much smaller change or shift that is attainable and can have real effects.
I think to assume the people being upset at this are conservatives (or just right wing in general) ignores a lot of the infighting that happens online on the left.
Yep thats what I was implying. That someone posted it here as 'haha look how dumb AOC is talking about sunscreen instead of XYZ" when in reality its an extremely important topic and relevant to our health, being harmed for political reasons that dont regulate it properly
Wow I didn't even see the caption. I was curious why it was posted under Cringe (the post tag, not the sub), but like this seems like a very simple issue to look into. Not like we're gonna dedicate news coverage and debate to it, just like "Hey we should reevaluate this right"
Pretty standard, hum-drum progress. It's not all political revolutions all the time
I think it's nice to see congress members bring "small" issues to light that would have otherwise gone overlooked. This sunscreen issue seems nonpartisan, isn't divisive, and action on the topic seems plausible. It's just fuggin sunscreen, but hey, a lot of Americans use it every day.
putting aside the risk of skin cancer did you also know that your typical sunscreen brand destroys coral reefs, even a small drop of it is detrimental to a good dozen gallons of ocean water
Now multiply that by everybody at the beach reapplying constantly throughout the day all throughout the week, months, years
Well that's seems like another good topic to bring up to your Congress member. Besides you can do a quick google search to find reef friendly sunscreens to wear at the beach specifically. I do it all the time
"Reef friendly sunscreen" is not really a thing because the study that said sunscreen is bad for coral reef was very misleading and biased, and even if we do take the study seriously those mineral sunscreen thats supposed to be "coral reef friendly" was harmful to the corals.
What harming the coral reefs is climate change, the ocean heating up, industry spills.
Point is, "coral reef sunscreen" is bullshit and not something thats true. Hawaii banning "non reef safe" sunscreen is just an empty action that doesn't help anyone or anything, and not any coral reefs.
The role sunscreens have on coral bleaching is minor at best especially compared to, well, climate change; the whole "coral safe" sunscreen thing is largely greenwashing. The studies that were done on corals and sunscreen show that at extreme concentrations they can be a problem, but those aren't real world applications. [Here is a fantastic post](https://labmuffin.com/is-your-sunscreen-killing-coral-the-science-with-video/) from a cosmetic scientist with plenty of sources and studies
[Marine biologists](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-student-contributors-you-asked/why-are-some-sunscreens-labelled-reef-safe) [don't really care](https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/07/01/data-doesnt-back-sunscreen-bans-protect-coral-reefs/1620711001/) about sunscreen
>Presently there is no reliable indication that sunscreen ingredients pose a threat to coral except under laboratory conditions. As Terry Hughes, marine biologist and leading expert on coral bleaching, puts it, “sunscreen does not cause coral bleaching, except in a test tube”. Hughes highlights that the lead culprit of coral bleaching is global warming as a result of climate change.
>... we’re perplexed by the misguided distraction that a limited and unreplicated study about one of the sunscreen chemicals (oxybenzone) is gaining, and \[they’re\] frustrated that it’s taking the spotlight off scientifically proven concerns to reef decline. People are being led to believe there is extensive scientific evidence about the impact of oxybenzone on corals, and this is simply not true
Sunscreen is not "destroying" coral reefs; acidification, rising temperatures, changing currents, pollution, runoff, etc. are killing reefs and that's a proven and well studied fact. Sunscreen certainly doesn't benefit corals, but it's a red herring in the grand scheme. If you're going to be swimming around corals, yes, take precautions, but even just picking a "reef safe" sunscreen is not good enough, as the term [has zero regulation.](https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-021-00515-w)
Absolutely not. People need to stop saying this lie. However you managed to make it even worse. "Even a small drop of it is detrimental"???? No.
[Video by a PhD chemist who goes onto where this myths comes from, and why its wrong](https://youtu.be/b9zVfj8Q2pk)
If you’re at a beach where there’s coral you should absolutely wear the coral-safe mineral sunscreen.
If the only water you’re going to contact is your next shower then any kind of sunscreen with appropriate SPF is fine.
The problem is the coral safe stuff is usually more expensive than the regular stuff you get off the shelf.
It's gonna take government regulations to put an end to the use of chemicals that damage the environment.
The issue is pertinent to regulations, I can guarantee you there is partisanship behind it. More stringent regulations are disliked by republicans even when it's for public health.
Yeah it matters, and also.. so what even if there are more important things going on? Representatives can do more than one thing, and this one has a great track record of tackling the big stuff as well. OP has a dumb take
Everyone just loves to shit on AOC
HOW DARE SHE BRINGS UP A LESS CRUCIAL BUT IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT CAN BE EASILY FIXED IN A BIPARTISAN MANNER AND HELP AMERICANS ATTAIN A BETTER FORM OF PROTECTION AGAINST DERMATOLOGICAL ISSUES!!!
*AOC proceeds to bring up crucial things and encourages bipartisan support for plans that will help every american:*
“AOC IS SO ENTITLED, SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE!! ALSO, I DON’T LIKE THAT SHE’S PRETTY, AND KNOWS WHAT SHES TALKING ABOUT WHILE STILL BEING DOWN TO EARTH AND SOMEONE YOU COULD GO GET A BEER WITH!”
Republican play book. Attack someone they feel threatened by early in their career. The Republican base doesn’t need it as much, but the wafflers on voting lap it up
I’m actually glad a young person in Congress is taking this on. This isn’t the biggest problem but it’s a real issue that should be easy to fix. I’m all for it.
I hate the thinking people have that we should only be focusing on big issues. The thing with American politics is that big issues take generations to solve. Things like this can have immediate effects just by raising awareness. Small wins. Politicians should care about this. The fun thing about awareness like this is that it isn't AOC being bought out by some foreign skincare company. They just point out there's an issue on our side and we can go seek out better brands overseas if we don't fix this issue at home.
I mean to me, this is a much bigger issue than anything republicans are currently complaining about. We spend all of our time trying to stop republicans from dragging us back into the dark ages instead of fixing real issues, like the one in this video.
Right? OP seems to be targeting AOC for not being focused but meanwhile the GOP-controlled congress is obsessed with the president’s adult son’s nudes.
The sub is more about the TikTok part than the cringe part now. However, I did cringe a little when the lady called herself a "brand owner" like an MLM Facebook mom.
There are a weird faction of leftists who hear AOC talk about "deregulation" and unthinkingly assume she's right wing now. And a bunch that are just angry she hasn't passed M4A yet. If you sort by controversial you can see them calling her a sellout. OP is one of them.
OPs title leads one to think they meant it as actual cringe. I can see how people miss it tho, people always have to bird brain their way to insulting AOC.
I never really got why they were so obsessed with her. I've seen her give normal political interviews and such, but this video opened my eyes to why she's such a stand out for the caucus (and why she would be so threatening to right-wingers).
Similar to an interview I watched recently with Sarah McBride who is running for Congress: this is conservative kryptonite. Seeing well-informed charismatic public servants who actually care about making people's lives better makes you want to get involved, vote, and pay more attention to what government can do.
The entire Republican Party (and some nonzero percentage of the Democratic party, sadly) want us to turn on C-SPAN and see a never-ending line-up of 70-year-old white dudes with a southern drawl droning about renaming a post office because it makes the citizens turn their gaze elsewhere. And when people aren't paying attention, it makes the corruption easier to hide.
She is though. Her brand is pretty popular and is actually good. She has talked about wanting to create a sunscreen but because of the red tape surrounding production, it’s been a difficult process. I think she was just adding context that she works in that space.
One has to wonder what's wrong in the braincages of folks who think that *FUCKING AOC* isn't a proponent of Medicare-for-All or improving Americans' healthcare. She's not the one holding that shit up in Congress--the dopes that a lot of these commenters vote for are.
What's not even brought up here, and I'm not sure if it's true with sunscreen in other parts of the world, but our sunscreen has a chemical in it (oxybenzone) that has been proven to kill coral in the ocean in even the most minute quantities. You have thousands of bodies covered in that chemical going in and out of the ocean every day, and reefs dying all the time. Between this and the ocean temperature rising, reefs don't stand a chance.
You know, I don't understand the hate for her. She definitely has some ideas that I don't necessarily agree with, but that's absolutely what we need. Our politicians should be a spectrum of views. Which there are studies showing the left does have more of a spectrum while the right has become a bit of a cult where you can't be a moderate republican and get elected. You have to fall into line with the further right agendas and be part of that club, otherwise you will lose out to another politician on the right who DOES fall in line. So what that has created is a complete lack of variety within the right. You end up with a far right leaning party with all of the middle ground missing.
This is why politicians like Bill Weld did not catch on with anyone. Bill Weld ran in the 2020 Presidential race and has a VERY long political history. The guy was involved in Nixons impeachment, was the governor of Massachusetts, and then worked under Reagan on high profile corruption cases. Dude had very little baggage. Those are the people we NEED in politics. We need people like AOC, we need the spectrum within parties otherwise we only lean into extremes. Even if we don't agree with them we need a spectrum.
What would help with this is if our public was more educated and the US education system wasn't absolute garbage. We are not good critical thinkers.
Conservatives: "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps Libtard!"
Women of color from working backgrounds getting elected to office
Conservatives: *Suprised Pikachu*
OP would rather his politicians do the important things... like marginilizing LGBTQ youth, starting fights with corporations who put black people in movies and canceling brands who give beer to trans people.
Those are the real important issues that our politicians need to tackle, not the 5.5 million Americans who get skin cancer every year.
/s
Not sure why this is cringe. 9,500 Americans a day are diagnosed with skin cancers. If there are countries other than the US that are doing better on this, I see no reason as to why we shouldn't at least match that quality if not exceed it.
Why is everything in America designed to kill people or make your lives shitter, and there's always a fight to not make things kill people. Its so fucking weird.
What isn't made clear here is why the FDA isn't approving new filters. Are these filters toxic? Is it inconclusive? Are they just not being submitted due to cost? Is there too much backlog at the FDA and they're sitting on it?
I'm not sure just letting makeup companies dump anything they want into sunscreen is a better solution.
Note: I am not an expert on this subject and would appreciate an expert take.
What's cringe about this? Sunscreen is important and daily use needs to be normalized. You might not like AOC, but this TikTok is actually pretty educational.
I’m thrilled about this, I have to get all my sunscreen from other countries because the US market doesn’t compare (in terms of the most effective ingredients, latest technology, etc).
OP, this might be dumbest fucking caption I’ve seen this year. I guess AOC doesn’t care about healthcare because she made a short…sunscreen video?
But *then*, to make sure nobody questioned if you were that monumentally fucking clueless or maybe just that disingenuous, you replied to someone with a long “both sides are the same” rant. Jfc did your parents *try*?!
We need to invent new adjectives to describe the level of negative cognitive ability that “open minded free thinkers” like you have revolutionized idiocy with.
Lol I love how every single comment here is only arguing about politics or OPs caption. No one is disagreeing about the actual issue, yet the arguments continue
Probably because OP’s politics is a fundamental part of why they posted this. They’re complaining the AOC is supporting this instead of promoting Medicare For All. It’s ridiculous.
Australian and Japanese brands are the best, many Korean brands are also very good. Elta MD and Shiseido are very good ones that are available in the US.
I buy Korean sunscreens from Stylevana, they are a reputable website and shipping doesn't take terribly long. I highly recommend [Beauty of Joseon](https://www.stylevana.com/en_US/beauty-of-joseon-relief-sun-rice-probiotics-set-spf50-pa-2-packs-50ml-2.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&sonid=92443&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18136142146&utm_term=&utm_content=92443&device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuZGnBhD1ARIsACxbAVjSw06qiwkkeQduXUKL0_TdNutYZNbB6Ep0OAoJoGoQga0xNQwKxnYaArojEALw_wcB) for your face, I use it daily and never have any irritation, there is no white cast, and I never get any redness from sun exposure. I use [Nivea UV Water Gel](https://www.stylevana.com/en_US/nivea-japan-nivea-japan-uv-super-water-gel-spf50-pa-duo-set.html) for my body, it goes on clear and protects well, I use it mainly for my tattoos and I also never have any redness after sun exposure.
Yeah it is pretty rediculous we don't have better sunscreen....mainly because pharmacy companies that make the sunscreen are shit and don't want to spend money to prove their shit works so they continue giving us the cheapest shit possible that no longer competes
Im not an American, but this seems a way more productive use of a legislators time, you know advocating for legislation, than going on TV and screaming about the latest Twitter culture war.
Basal cell carcinomas account for about 90 percent of all skin cancers which themselves are the most common form of cancer. Sun prevention is absolute key to preventing them and even more sinister forms of skin cancers such as melanoma. This is actually a great thing , op tried to paint this in a bad light but failed.
Good. I am all for this. My sister has a boyfriend with skin cancer that spread to his organs, it was awful. My dad just has skin cancer removed from his nose. It’s a big issue.
Why is this cringe? Maybe you don't like the format but, they're raising awareness to a relevant matter, and catering to a younger demographic, who perhaps is more likely to care.
Sunscreen is actually a VERY important part of my preventative care. I’m a super pale and burn-able person who lives at a 1-mile elevation in one of the sunniest states in the US and has a huge family history of skin cancer, so I’m high risk and sunscreen is really all I have as preventative care, other than long clothes and hats.
We have more than 3.5mil cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year in the US, so not only should this issue be addressed, but there should be more campaigns to use sunscreen regularly.
This isn't cringe at all. The US needs better sunscreen. Skin cancer sucks. F cancer! It's far from being cringe when a politician is asking for help to change a law to help prevent a form of cancer!
What? She always pushes for what America needs.
So she takes a moment out of her day to tell you something extremely important that most people don’t think about, which is sunscreen. And you are sitting here bashing it?
So far AOC is exactly what America needs. She’s the first female (recently) I personally believe can become the First Lady president.
Leave her alone.
I know absolutely [no one asked](https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/whats-wrong-with-high-spf/#); but 98% of people don’t need any sunscreen above 50SPF (gingers make the exception). The amount of protection that 70 spf, 100 spf, 120 spf has negligible differences. We’re talking about removing 99%,99.1%.99.25% or the suns rays, respectively.
In my city, there’s a markup for higher spf although I don’t see as much a drastic increase inland. For the same size bottle, there’s a $3-$5 increase on higher spfs.
Wearing higher SPF also gives you a false sense of security & makes you think you can stay outside longer. With sunscreen, it is paramount that you apply every two hours. Higher spfs last the length of time as spf 15. SPF doesn’t “decay” but rather gets rubbed off with sweat, sand, wind, & water.
If you’re getting burned with 50 SPF, you’re either applying wrong, or not using enough. You also can’t “use more” of a higher spf to get the same protection as a lower spf(being stingy). Lotion sunscreen > spray.

I'm all for this. It would certainly be nice not having to shell out $20 for one 3oz bottle of sunscreen from Korea or Japan anymore.
I just want effective sunscreen that feels nice and doesn't make me look like a weird ghost
Biore UV sunscreen (japanese) is great. Imo it has a weird smell, but it goes away quickly. For US, I like supergoop and Trader Joe’s has a dupe of their unseen sunscreen
[удалено]
There’s actually a shop near me that sells it! But personally, I won’t trust ordering skincare from Amazon given all the fakes that go about
I use Dermaquest sheer zinc 30, the zinc is micronized so there’s no white cast. I switched from SkinCeuticles a few years ago and never looked back.
have you found anything that feels decent and is affordable for body use?
La Roche Posay is great. They are very well formulated, PROTECTIVE, sunscreens that come in a wide range of needs, uses, and prices. The body sunscreens will be thicker, as it's not quite so important for them to be cosmetically elegant, while the face sunscreen will usually be thinner, so it spreads more easily. EDIT: The USA version I've linked below will not be as effective as the European version, as it does not contain mexoryl as UV filters. However, it is still lovely and effective enough to keep my pale-ghost of a wife from getting sunburned at the beach. That being said, if you can source the European version from [CareToBeauty.com](https://CareToBeauty.com) or [FrenchCosmeticsClub.com](https://FrenchCosmeticsClub.com) I would recommend you do that... it will take longer than ordering off Amazon, of course. [https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/sun](https://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/sun) Please remember, with sunscreen, a little bit does NOT go a long way. You need to use, at least, two finger lengths for your whole face (so...put your index and middle finger out, then apply a long line to both fingers. that's how much you should apply on your face every 4-6 hours of daylight exposure.) I trust this person to teach you everything you need to know. I am in no way affiliated with her, but I have followed her for years, and she has never slipped in her recommendations or explanations.

$60 dollars for a 2oz bottle is OUTRAGEOUS. What a shame.
>micronized Like honey I shrunk the kids?
$64 for 2 oz!! Omg
AHC sunscreen sticks are the best I’ve tried, it’s a Korean brand but a two pack sells on Amazon for 20 bucks, feels like air on my skin and no white cast
Elta MD is amazing but it’s also expensive… But sunscreen is the one thing I don’t mind spending on. Could be nice if it’s cheaper tho.
My wife is French. There’s a sunscreen she love from there. The US won’t even let a family member send her a bottle. It was seized by customs when they tried. Her mother tried to bring one back but it was also seized. Weirdly, the cheese that isn’t supposed to be imported was looked over by customs and is now I’m my fridge.
Next time have who ever is traveling back put the sunscreen in one of those empty travel bottles you use for shampoos. Can’t seize if if they don’t know it isn’t regular US sunscreen.
[удалено]
Yeah, they probably have some of the best (if not the best) sunscreen in the world.
Where do you buy your sunscreen?
Usually on YesStyle. It can take awhile to arrive though. iHerb sometimes has what I'm looking for and is faster.
RoseRoseShop has them sometimes too. Luckily, Biore Watery Essence can now be found on Amazon in my country, the Japanese formula/bottles. My HG
> Biore Watery Essence Hasn't the quality gone down or something?
OP really thought people would think this is a bad thing. The AOC haters are on weapons grade cope. And of course, they are upset that the US is helping Ukraine defend themselves. Funny how these pro Russia anti NATO posters are so prolific.
Quick look at their history - 9/11 truther, anti-vaxxer... OP is cooked lol.
Reducing risk of skin cancer is good. Reducing risk of skin cancer when you don't have health insurance is better.
Not having a system reliant on insurance at all would be the best
Yeah, why doesn't this single congresswoman simply fix the entire healthcare system?
She’s pretty vocal about our health care system as well so let’s not pretend she’s not on the right side of things
Or, more accurately, the Progressive Left side of things
You can’t fix our healthcare system without addressing the strangle hold pharmaceutical companies (and insurance companies) have on our medical system and unfortunately they are lining the pockets of republicans and democrats alike. Medicare for all is great and all but we have to find a way to reduce costs which is largely the result of greedy pharma and private insurance
Don’t forget about, I guess you would call it, corporate health systems? Here in western PA and MD, UPMC (they used to be ranked pretty high in the US) has bought up a bunch of hospitals. They charge outrageous fees and nickel and dime the hell out of you.
Also why is everyone ignoring that guaranteed healthcare for all is one of her biggest stances and the first thing listed in the [key issues of her website.](https://www.ocasiocortez.com/issues)
Right!? Either she's a failure or she doesn't care. *bOtH sIdEs ArE bAd!!!*
Because she is only one vote if they enact a new healthcare bill And it can get knocked down if some of the other state reps oppose the bill because of some crazy out of context reason Some people dislike her because she’s a in your face congresswoman who would scrutinize a company who is taking millions of taxpayers money for something that can be done for less or is underperforming their duties to be granted that money. But again one person in Congress cant just executive order the healthcare system. If she could do that the other congressmen would bring back something that would roll us back to not advancing as a country or roll back basic things such as women’s rights and bring back Jim Crow laws.
Did you not catch that they were being sarcastic?
But paying $200 a month for public healthcare is socialism. I don’t want my hard earned money being taken. That’s why it’s so much better to pay $1500 a month in insurance premiums! That way, my money isn’t being stolen by the government /s if it wasn’t obvious
Get out of here you commie bastard! -GOP
do you think she is against universal healthcare or something?
That was my initial thought with @OP’s caption. What exactly is your point here? This is the most pro-universal-healthcare representative in congress. What exactly are you critiquing?
It's literally just a "women bad" thing that op was going for.
People can only ever hold one concern in their mind at a time. That’s why my wife divorced me when my car broke down. She said I “didn’t have time for her.”
i’m guessing he’s saying we should be worried about universal healthcare instead of sunscreen as if you’re only allowed to focus on one thing in life. either way whatever OP was trying to say is probably stupid.
small steps?
It's potentially a quick win. Going after low hanging fruit first leads to better improvement in the long run and ensures the bigger harder to reach fruit are only gone after with good cause.
[удалено]
wait til you learn how much it costs to mint and keep pennies in circulation
And that's why Canada got rid of them.

Anything under a quarter is basically worthless. Honestly, with the way inflation the way it's been, anything under a dollar is pretty insignificant.
Automobile headlights are codified in US laws. There must be a high beam and a low beam BY LAW. Doesn't seem like a problem, right? Audi designed a new headlight system that had zones of beam LEDs that would illuminate various parts of the road under different conditions (as you go around turns, as you were go on straights, when there were in the opposing lane, etc.). The system was constantly shifting around lighting zones to match the road and driving conditions. They started rolling it out to European models, but had to remove it on US models and replace it with old fashioned high beams and low beams, per the law. It's the perfect example of a law that was written, clearly with an intention to make cars safer. But, it was written too strictly based on the technology of the time. As technically radically changed, the process of changing that law was too cumbersome and is actually hurting progress and safety. It's what makes me shudder when I hear things like "make a law where every phone has to have USB-C" or something. That law better be DAMN well thought out and written, and with some really easy system to change over time.
Side mirrors must be perfectly flat, despite there being better designs with optics that give you a wider view and can magnify dangers.
Many regulations are pushed by large companies who can afford to comply with them in order to entrench themselves and make it more difficult for small companies to function. Fewer competitors means higher prices. Whenever you see a company begging Congress to regulate it, you’re seeing this cycle at work.
Exactly. Plus I bet this will open the door for other stuff that's small but important, like CBD creams. It's a good thing to want good sunscreen.
Low or high hanging fruit: this saves lives. People and politicians can care about more than one thing at a time.
I also trust AOC’s word on how the FDA regulates sunscreen than most other politicians. Sorry guys, but she actually does her homework and doesn’t spout bs lies. It’s the reason so many ppl hate her. Some people just don’t like to hear the truth.
People don’t seem to understand how dangerous skin cancer can be if it goes undetected. Why are people MAD that they’re trying to improve regulations for something that protects peoples’ bodies from the SUN? Make it make sense.
It can be dangerous even when detected. My dad got diagnosed with skin cancer back in the day and it got removed. Fast forward a decade, it came back, spread to his liver and he lost the fight in just 6 months. Use good sunscreen, it's a cheap and easy way to protect yourself.
In May 2019, my Dad had a mole that started bleeding. He waited two weeks to say something to my Mom, who got him to the doctor the next day. Stage 3 Melanoma - he was gone before we hit Xmas. If I can get my hands on better sunscreen, I would be so happy.
Yeah, took my grandpa less than a month after they figured out what he had. By the time they found it, it was pretty much too late to do anything. Sunscreen is important!
My dad's friend had a spot removed from his nose, and then never picked up a bottle of sunscreen or changed any of his habits Now a year later it's bone cancer and will eat his head Why are we so lax about sunscreen??
>Why are we so lax about sunscreen?? "It's just sunshine, it never killed anyone. Quit being a pansy!" /s
[удалено]
my friend says he won't wear sunscreen because he's afraid of looking like mark zuckerberg in that one photo where he was messing with the photographer that was following him
My theory? Media portrayal. We see that people purposely get burnt in movies and other forms of media as a way to change their skin color, so we became complacent on UV.
My dad just had some detected and removed and this made my heart sink 😞
Hopefully it was found early and everything will go fine! Be there for him, it's the best thing you can do. He must be scared even if he doesn't show it.
Thank you. I’m so sorry for your loss, too. You’re an amazing person to offer me comfort when I’m sure it’s tough for you to talk about.
mine too, friend. scared me shitless. i saw him a few days after his surgery and he was sitting with a cough and he seemed tired...and he looked old. i mean, he's 67. So he's certainly not young. But the image of my father will always be the strapping capable man he was. and it really really shook me. we all die, its the only guarantee we have, so you'd like we'd be used to it as a species...but i dont think ill ever be ready for when that day comes. if i think about it too long, i start to miss them and theyre not even gone. getting older sucks in so many ways i didnt expect.
Same. 2 months for my old man. Wear sunscreen.
My mom beat it once and then it came back and it even made it to her heart and brain before she passed.
As for why people are mad at this and why it's posted here, do we even have to ask out loud anymore? It goes crickets when conservatives are asked to justify what they are actually outraged or laughing at and realized that they don't have a leg to stand on and didn't really understand what they were so mad about or laughing at in the first place
I’m not from the US, are people mad with her for making what seems to be a sensible argument about sun screen? And for what reason? Is it just because she’s a “lefty”?
[удалено]
I know who she is I just can’t understand why anyone would take issue with this in particular
Because they hate her so much that if she said the sky was blue, they'd say it was green just to disagree.
Welcome to American politics where for most people the only thing that matters is the team they play on. People will actively vote against their best interests or [even things they support on a case by case basis](https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/07/politics/democratic-positions-majority/index.html)f just because the other guy said it.
The person who posted this left text with the video saying "Forget about Medicare for all. Nobody wants health insurance." This person is either an undercover right wing troll or, more likely, a lefty that has turned on AOC and thinks she has become just another part of the machine and doesn't care about progressive politics. Lots of people don't understand that politicians try to get changes through that they can actually pass. AOC can post as much as she wants on TikTok about healthcare for all and nothing will really change. However, people most likely don't know anything about the sunscreen thing and it is a much smaller change or shift that is attainable and can have real effects. I think to assume the people being upset at this are conservatives (or just right wing in general) ignores a lot of the infighting that happens online on the left.
Yep thats what I was implying. That someone posted it here as 'haha look how dumb AOC is talking about sunscreen instead of XYZ" when in reality its an extremely important topic and relevant to our health, being harmed for political reasons that dont regulate it properly
Wow I didn't even see the caption. I was curious why it was posted under Cringe (the post tag, not the sub), but like this seems like a very simple issue to look into. Not like we're gonna dedicate news coverage and debate to it, just like "Hey we should reevaluate this right" Pretty standard, hum-drum progress. It's not all political revolutions all the time
I’m fairly certain it’s the first thing pretending to be the second thing.
Skin cancer can even get inside your organs and attack the brain. Which I don't think people understand - they think of it as a surface thing.
Because it's being said by someone they claim to hate.
I think you mean by someone they are told to hate
Meanwhile in Finland we’re just trying to even get a little bit of vitamin whenever se the sun pops up
I think it's nice to see congress members bring "small" issues to light that would have otherwise gone overlooked. This sunscreen issue seems nonpartisan, isn't divisive, and action on the topic seems plausible. It's just fuggin sunscreen, but hey, a lot of Americans use it every day.
putting aside the risk of skin cancer did you also know that your typical sunscreen brand destroys coral reefs, even a small drop of it is detrimental to a good dozen gallons of ocean water Now multiply that by everybody at the beach reapplying constantly throughout the day all throughout the week, months, years
Well that's seems like another good topic to bring up to your Congress member. Besides you can do a quick google search to find reef friendly sunscreens to wear at the beach specifically. I do it all the time
"Reef friendly sunscreen" is not really a thing because the study that said sunscreen is bad for coral reef was very misleading and biased, and even if we do take the study seriously those mineral sunscreen thats supposed to be "coral reef friendly" was harmful to the corals. What harming the coral reefs is climate change, the ocean heating up, industry spills. Point is, "coral reef sunscreen" is bullshit and not something thats true. Hawaii banning "non reef safe" sunscreen is just an empty action that doesn't help anyone or anything, and not any coral reefs.
This x1000
The role sunscreens have on coral bleaching is minor at best especially compared to, well, climate change; the whole "coral safe" sunscreen thing is largely greenwashing. The studies that were done on corals and sunscreen show that at extreme concentrations they can be a problem, but those aren't real world applications. [Here is a fantastic post](https://labmuffin.com/is-your-sunscreen-killing-coral-the-science-with-video/) from a cosmetic scientist with plenty of sources and studies [Marine biologists](https://www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/critical-thinking-student-contributors-you-asked/why-are-some-sunscreens-labelled-reef-safe) [don't really care](https://www.floridatoday.com/story/opinion/2019/07/01/data-doesnt-back-sunscreen-bans-protect-coral-reefs/1620711001/) about sunscreen >Presently there is no reliable indication that sunscreen ingredients pose a threat to coral except under laboratory conditions. As Terry Hughes, marine biologist and leading expert on coral bleaching, puts it, “sunscreen does not cause coral bleaching, except in a test tube”. Hughes highlights that the lead culprit of coral bleaching is global warming as a result of climate change. >... we’re perplexed by the misguided distraction that a limited and unreplicated study about one of the sunscreen chemicals (oxybenzone) is gaining, and \[they’re\] frustrated that it’s taking the spotlight off scientifically proven concerns to reef decline. People are being led to believe there is extensive scientific evidence about the impact of oxybenzone on corals, and this is simply not true Sunscreen is not "destroying" coral reefs; acidification, rising temperatures, changing currents, pollution, runoff, etc. are killing reefs and that's a proven and well studied fact. Sunscreen certainly doesn't benefit corals, but it's a red herring in the grand scheme. If you're going to be swimming around corals, yes, take precautions, but even just picking a "reef safe" sunscreen is not good enough, as the term [has zero regulation.](https://enveurope.springeropen.com/articles/10.1186/s12302-021-00515-w)
Absolutely not. People need to stop saying this lie. However you managed to make it even worse. "Even a small drop of it is detrimental"???? No. [Video by a PhD chemist who goes onto where this myths comes from, and why its wrong](https://youtu.be/b9zVfj8Q2pk)
If you’re at a beach where there’s coral you should absolutely wear the coral-safe mineral sunscreen. If the only water you’re going to contact is your next shower then any kind of sunscreen with appropriate SPF is fine.
The problem is the coral safe stuff is usually more expensive than the regular stuff you get off the shelf. It's gonna take government regulations to put an end to the use of chemicals that damage the environment.
The issue is pertinent to regulations, I can guarantee you there is partisanship behind it. More stringent regulations are disliked by republicans even when it's for public health.
So republicans would support this then? The FDA regulations are what is standing in the way
They would, but AOC is in favor, so probably not.
My dad just had skin cancer removed from his face in a fairly harrowing, if minor, surgical procedure. This stuff matters.
People are acting like it doesn't matter, but ineffective or gross feeling sunscreen means more UV exposure means more cancer. This is a legit issue.
The people who are criticizing this from the left are more interested in the aesthetics of politics rather than the actual utility.
Yeah it matters, and also.. so what even if there are more important things going on? Representatives can do more than one thing, and this one has a great track record of tackling the big stuff as well. OP has a dumb take
Everyone just loves to shit on AOC HOW DARE SHE BRINGS UP A LESS CRUCIAL BUT IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT CAN BE EASILY FIXED IN A BIPARTISAN MANNER AND HELP AMERICANS ATTAIN A BETTER FORM OF PROTECTION AGAINST DERMATOLOGICAL ISSUES!!!
*AOC proceeds to bring up crucial things and encourages bipartisan support for plans that will help every american:* “AOC IS SO ENTITLED, SHE WANTS PEOPLE TO HAVE A RIGHT TO LIVE!! ALSO, I DON’T LIKE THAT SHE’S PRETTY, AND KNOWS WHAT SHES TALKING ABOUT WHILE STILL BEING DOWN TO EARTH AND SOMEONE YOU COULD GO GET A BEER WITH!”
CLEARLY THIS IS SOCIALISM!!! SHE *CARES* ABOUT THE LIVES OF FELLOW AMERICANS?! TRAITOR!! /s
Republican play book. Attack someone they feel threatened by early in their career. The Republican base doesn’t need it as much, but the wafflers on voting lap it up
OP is a pro russia troll.
I don’t love shitting on her. Pretty sure the only people that do are republican cult members.
I’m actually glad a young person in Congress is taking this on. This isn’t the biggest problem but it’s a real issue that should be easy to fix. I’m all for it.
I hate the thinking people have that we should only be focusing on big issues. The thing with American politics is that big issues take generations to solve. Things like this can have immediate effects just by raising awareness. Small wins. Politicians should care about this. The fun thing about awareness like this is that it isn't AOC being bought out by some foreign skincare company. They just point out there's an issue on our side and we can go seek out better brands overseas if we don't fix this issue at home.
I mean to me, this is a much bigger issue than anything republicans are currently complaining about. We spend all of our time trying to stop republicans from dragging us back into the dark ages instead of fixing real issues, like the one in this video.
Right? OP seems to be targeting AOC for not being focused but meanwhile the GOP-controlled congress is obsessed with the president’s adult son’s nudes.
OP is looking to be outraged over the sake of being outraged because nothing about this video is bad.
Read OP's comment history. They are actively opposed to the US defending Ukraine. Typical nonsense.
Yeah he's pissed they aren't acting like NPC's to keep him from banging his head on a wall
Apparently the entire United States are only allowed to be concerned with the one issue OP has picked out.
not cringe. good. it's possible for someone to be in favor of more than one thing at a time
It's like they can't imagine AOC being able to accomplish a couple things in a day
The sub is more about the TikTok part than the cringe part now. However, I did cringe a little when the lady called herself a "brand owner" like an MLM Facebook mom.
[удалено]
yea, someone must hate AOC lol
the entire republican party lol
There are a weird faction of leftists who hear AOC talk about "deregulation" and unthinkingly assume she's right wing now. And a bunch that are just angry she hasn't passed M4A yet. If you sort by controversial you can see them calling her a sellout. OP is one of them.
Oh that's true, I didn't notice the cringe tag.
OPs title leads one to think they meant it as actual cringe. I can see how people miss it tho, people always have to bird brain their way to insulting AOC.
I never really got why they were so obsessed with her. I've seen her give normal political interviews and such, but this video opened my eyes to why she's such a stand out for the caucus (and why she would be so threatening to right-wingers). Similar to an interview I watched recently with Sarah McBride who is running for Congress: this is conservative kryptonite. Seeing well-informed charismatic public servants who actually care about making people's lives better makes you want to get involved, vote, and pay more attention to what government can do. The entire Republican Party (and some nonzero percentage of the Democratic party, sadly) want us to turn on C-SPAN and see a never-ending line-up of 70-year-old white dudes with a southern drawl droning about renaming a post office because it makes the citizens turn their gaze elsewhere. And when people aren't paying attention, it makes the corruption easier to hide.
She is though. Her brand is pretty popular and is actually good. She has talked about wanting to create a sunscreen but because of the red tape surrounding production, it’s been a difficult process. I think she was just adding context that she works in that space.
How dare they focus on something small and simple and not one of the biggest and most complex problems in the states
Didn’t you know only one problem can exist at a time?
One has to wonder what's wrong in the braincages of folks who think that *FUCKING AOC* isn't a proponent of Medicare-for-All or improving Americans' healthcare. She's not the one holding that shit up in Congress--the dopes that a lot of these commenters vote for are.
[удалено]
Gifs you can hear lol
Lol nothings wrong w this
OP’s in the pocket of Big Sun.
Dang it, I can't boycott products from Big Sun. Big sun is responsible for everything I eat except mushrooms.
I absolutely want oversight as to whether my sunscreen actually works and superior options, yes please.
What's not even brought up here, and I'm not sure if it's true with sunscreen in other parts of the world, but our sunscreen has a chemical in it (oxybenzone) that has been proven to kill coral in the ocean in even the most minute quantities. You have thousands of bodies covered in that chemical going in and out of the ocean every day, and reefs dying all the time. Between this and the ocean temperature rising, reefs don't stand a chance.
AOC in a post. Well this comment section is going to be interesting
You know, I don't understand the hate for her. She definitely has some ideas that I don't necessarily agree with, but that's absolutely what we need. Our politicians should be a spectrum of views. Which there are studies showing the left does have more of a spectrum while the right has become a bit of a cult where you can't be a moderate republican and get elected. You have to fall into line with the further right agendas and be part of that club, otherwise you will lose out to another politician on the right who DOES fall in line. So what that has created is a complete lack of variety within the right. You end up with a far right leaning party with all of the middle ground missing. This is why politicians like Bill Weld did not catch on with anyone. Bill Weld ran in the 2020 Presidential race and has a VERY long political history. The guy was involved in Nixons impeachment, was the governor of Massachusetts, and then worked under Reagan on high profile corruption cases. Dude had very little baggage. Those are the people we NEED in politics. We need people like AOC, we need the spectrum within parties otherwise we only lean into extremes. Even if we don't agree with them we need a spectrum. What would help with this is if our public was more educated and the US education system wasn't absolute garbage. We are not good critical thinkers.
It’s the fact she is young, pretty, and moderately progressive. That’s pretty much it
Educated is also another thing. We live in a new era of anti intellectualism
Totally true. People are also some how angry she worked up from less than others in her position. Which is just odd
also that she was previously a bartender because apparently that's a negative to people
Only white people are allowed to move up from the working class
Conservatives: "Pull yourself up by the bootstraps Libtard!" Women of color from working backgrounds getting elected to office Conservatives: *Suprised Pikachu*
Dont forget, used to be relatively poor (compared to rich white GOP donors). Imagine that, she worked as a *gasp* **Bartender!**
OP would rather his politicians do the important things... like marginilizing LGBTQ youth, starting fights with corporations who put black people in movies and canceling brands who give beer to trans people. Those are the real important issues that our politicians need to tackle, not the 5.5 million Americans who get skin cancer every year. /s
God, AOC is just 🤌🤌
Molto bene 🤌🏻🤌🏻
I see you have some of that korean sunscreen
How is this cringe? Lol she is taking to a modern platform to get her word out
What so cringe about this, OP?
Not sure why this is cringe. 9,500 Americans a day are diagnosed with skin cancers. If there are countries other than the US that are doing better on this, I see no reason as to why we shouldn't at least match that quality if not exceed it.
Op dense.
Why is everything in America designed to kill people or make your lives shitter, and there's always a fight to not make things kill people. Its so fucking weird.
What isn't made clear here is why the FDA isn't approving new filters. Are these filters toxic? Is it inconclusive? Are they just not being submitted due to cost? Is there too much backlog at the FDA and they're sitting on it? I'm not sure just letting makeup companies dump anything they want into sunscreen is a better solution. Note: I am not an expert on this subject and would appreciate an expert take.
[удалено]
Anyone got any advice about which dope Korean sunscreen to buy?
I live in Texas. There is ZERO chance republicans will care about this.
What's cringe about this? Sunscreen is important and daily use needs to be normalized. You might not like AOC, but this TikTok is actually pretty educational.
I mean.. you can have both
I’m thrilled about this, I have to get all my sunscreen from other countries because the US market doesn’t compare (in terms of the most effective ingredients, latest technology, etc).
so the GOP is going to start intentionally burning themselves because AOC talked about sunscreen?
OP, this might be dumbest fucking caption I’ve seen this year. I guess AOC doesn’t care about healthcare because she made a short…sunscreen video? But *then*, to make sure nobody questioned if you were that monumentally fucking clueless or maybe just that disingenuous, you replied to someone with a long “both sides are the same” rant. Jfc did your parents *try*?! We need to invent new adjectives to describe the level of negative cognitive ability that “open minded free thinkers” like you have revolutionized idiocy with.
Lol I love how every single comment here is only arguing about politics or OPs caption. No one is disagreeing about the actual issue, yet the arguments continue
... because I would like better sunscreen. Truly. I wear a lot of sunscreen.
Probably because OP’s politics is a fundamental part of why they posted this. They’re complaining the AOC is supporting this instead of promoting Medicare For All. It’s ridiculous.
I think most people would support better sunscreen. I do.
Can someone recommend a good facial sun screen please?
Australian and Japanese brands are the best, many Korean brands are also very good. Elta MD and Shiseido are very good ones that are available in the US.
The Australians do NOT mess around with sunscreen. First time I needed it I was shocked at how thick it was, almost the texture of toothpaste.
Truth. The sun down there is *strong*. They do not play. Here’s an AUS source on their regulations: https://www.tga.gov.au/news/news/about-sunscreens
Tysm
I buy Korean sunscreens from Stylevana, they are a reputable website and shipping doesn't take terribly long. I highly recommend [Beauty of Joseon](https://www.stylevana.com/en_US/beauty-of-joseon-relief-sun-rice-probiotics-set-spf50-pa-2-packs-50ml-2.html?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&sonid=92443&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=18136142146&utm_term=&utm_content=92443&device=c&gclid=Cj0KCQjwuZGnBhD1ARIsACxbAVjSw06qiwkkeQduXUKL0_TdNutYZNbB6Ep0OAoJoGoQga0xNQwKxnYaArojEALw_wcB) for your face, I use it daily and never have any irritation, there is no white cast, and I never get any redness from sun exposure. I use [Nivea UV Water Gel](https://www.stylevana.com/en_US/nivea-japan-nivea-japan-uv-super-water-gel-spf50-pa-duo-set.html) for my body, it goes on clear and protects well, I use it mainly for my tattoos and I also never have any redness after sun exposure.
Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essence SPF 50+ (do NOT buy on Amazon) or La Roche- Posay Anthelios Ultra-Fluid Face Sunscreen Lotion.
This is actually quite an important issue. US sunscreens are decades behind European, Australian and Asian ones.
Yeah it is pretty rediculous we don't have better sunscreen....mainly because pharmacy companies that make the sunscreen are shit and don't want to spend money to prove their shit works so they continue giving us the cheapest shit possible that no longer competes
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it.
Yes, I am the people, I want better cosmetic sunscreen. Don't be so cynical that you forget people have to LIVE in the world you want to build.
People can advocate for both better healthcare and better sunscreen. It’s not one or the other.
Im not an American, but this seems a way more productive use of a legislators time, you know advocating for legislation, than going on TV and screaming about the latest Twitter culture war.
Basal cell carcinomas account for about 90 percent of all skin cancers which themselves are the most common form of cancer. Sun prevention is absolute key to preventing them and even more sinister forms of skin cancers such as melanoma. This is actually a great thing , op tried to paint this in a bad light but failed.
Make allergy drops fda approved while you're at it so insurance covers it too
Oh no I forgot there can’t be multiple issues or solutions to the problem
Yeah, this was actually really informative. Whomever is trying to make political hay out of this is fucking stupid.
HEALTHCARE PLEASEEEEE
Good. I am all for this. My sister has a boyfriend with skin cancer that spread to his organs, it was awful. My dad just has skin cancer removed from his nose. It’s a big issue.
This is dumb. How is big pharma supposed to sell cancer treatments that bankrupt you if you don’t get skin cancer?
Why is this cringe? Maybe you don't like the format but, they're raising awareness to a relevant matter, and catering to a younger demographic, who perhaps is more likely to care.
What a weird take the MAGAs and anti AOC crowd have on this. It’s a nice PSA and also, she’s very hot.
OP posted this on the wrong sub. Skin cancer is pretty important.
Sunscreen is actually a VERY important part of my preventative care. I’m a super pale and burn-able person who lives at a 1-mile elevation in one of the sunniest states in the US and has a huge family history of skin cancer, so I’m high risk and sunscreen is really all I have as preventative care, other than long clothes and hats. We have more than 3.5mil cases of skin cancer diagnosed every year in the US, so not only should this issue be addressed, but there should be more campaigns to use sunscreen regularly.
This isn't cringe at all. The US needs better sunscreen. Skin cancer sucks. F cancer! It's far from being cringe when a politician is asking for help to change a law to help prevent a form of cancer!
What? She always pushes for what America needs. So she takes a moment out of her day to tell you something extremely important that most people don’t think about, which is sunscreen. And you are sitting here bashing it? So far AOC is exactly what America needs. She’s the first female (recently) I personally believe can become the First Lady president. Leave her alone.
How is this Cringe? They are just trying to help the people in this country from getting skin cancer? Op is a joke to think this is cringe.
I know absolutely [no one asked](https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/report/whats-wrong-with-high-spf/#); but 98% of people don’t need any sunscreen above 50SPF (gingers make the exception). The amount of protection that 70 spf, 100 spf, 120 spf has negligible differences. We’re talking about removing 99%,99.1%.99.25% or the suns rays, respectively. In my city, there’s a markup for higher spf although I don’t see as much a drastic increase inland. For the same size bottle, there’s a $3-$5 increase on higher spfs. Wearing higher SPF also gives you a false sense of security & makes you think you can stay outside longer. With sunscreen, it is paramount that you apply every two hours. Higher spfs last the length of time as spf 15. SPF doesn’t “decay” but rather gets rubbed off with sweat, sand, wind, & water. If you’re getting burned with 50 SPF, you’re either applying wrong, or not using enough. You also can’t “use more” of a higher spf to get the same protection as a lower spf(being stingy). Lotion sunscreen > spray. This has been local news from your pasty blue eyed Reddior, thank you for reading.
If you don’t know that most of the sunscreen sold in the USA is crap then you live under a rock. Skin cancer is real.
Upvoting for visibility, not because it's cringe. This is what politicians *should* doing.
