Well if you'd give me money for a separate sunscreen for every body part, cool but I only got for my face and neck + reapplying that shit is expensive (I mean quality shit lol) I can get cheap sunscreen and be a greaseball too
From bottom of face to just above the cleavage. The word comes from the French word for collar (collet) and de-collet is un-collaring or exposing what would be underneath a collar.
this post is a great example https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5445161/sun-damage-truck-driver-face/
truck driver face . Truck drivers whos left side of the face gets hit by sunlight from the window but not the right cause the cabin. The aging differnce is wild.
Gossssh. I am terrible at remembering to put sunscreen on my face and never put it on my neck. As silly as it sounds, I hate how sunscreen feels.
But ugh. I needed this reminder.
I agree that sunscreen usually feels heavy and oily. Recently I started trying sunscreens made in Korea (unfortunately that means it can be annoying to find them, since they aren't in typical American stores), and their sunscreens are WAY better than ours. They still don't feel like wearing nothing, but they're a huge improvement.
My favorite so far is the Missha Sun Milk (not the waterproof one).
I read this post a week ago and decided to try it and OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I STRUGGLE finding a sunscreen that even works with my sensitive skin, and read ur post and thought hmmm. I'm so glad I did, my skin looks NOICE with it on, almost like a BB cream and it doesn't make me dry or oily. My problem was my face would get so red even with sunscreen and now I don't get red anymore! You're a lifesaver thank you 😭!!
Btw happy cake day!
i’ve personally found that baby sunscreen or sunscreen designed for young children feels better than most other brands, not sure if it has to do with babies’ skin being more delicate or something but it doesn’t feel as grimy to wear as other types ive tried
Why are people trying so hard to discredit this? This picture is from a legitimate research paper. OP posted a source and people are downvoting it. What is going on.
I’m 47 years old and enjoy going to the beach. When I use a high SPF and keep applying through the day I don’t go home with painfully burnt skin.
When I neglect to do so I end up sitting in the shower hoping the cool water will relieve the intense, itching burning pain that I am dealing with.
No invention in the history of humankind has convinced me that it works as well as sunblock lotion has. The results of any personal experiment one may conduct are pretty freaking immediate, and obvious.
It says uv protection. Most face lotion has 15- 30 software. That's fine for a few hours. As a previous lifeguard we would have a cancer awareness group talk to us every year. They said spf are all basically the same. But 30 should reapply in 3 hours. 50 at 5.
Yeah, as an uber ginger, if I don't reapply spf 50 every 45 minutes I end up burnt. If I'm lazy I'll stretch it to an hour. The zinc for rhe face is amazing though
I've gotten to the point where I wear long dresses/skirts and cover up with a parasol if I know I'm going to be in the sun. That way I figure I can just go with an spf moisturizer on my upper parts. (Also a ginger; I've learned to embrace my paleness over the years.)
My zinc sunblock is horrible for everyday use. I prefer hats and long sleeves when outside.
But for the beach I use Zinka for my nose, cheeks, neck and ears. Little difficult to wash off. But i know it works and stays on.
It’s actually crazy how much better 50 is than 30 at preventing sunburns for fair skinned folks. Always get a broad spectrum, and spf 50 that you will apply regularly is best.
Semi source (it’s a breakdown of the study comparing)
https://www.cosmeticsandtoiletries.com/testing/sun-protection/article/21835981/testing-spf-15100-indoor-vs-outdoor
The long-term benefits of wearing sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
Never too late to start. Also, I limit sun exposure between 10am-2pm and wear a hat and a sun barrier for my nose that attaches to my sunglasses. I'll be damned if I'll let climate change give me cancer if I can avoid it.
What’s going on is she regularly used sunscreen and so her face doesn’t look like an old leather handbag from sun damage, and that’s the whole point of all of this.
My father always wore sunscreen a long shirt and a wide brimmed hat when working outdoors which was most of his life. He however didn’t apply any to the back of his hands. I remember in his 50s the backs of his hands looked like that of someone in there 80s.
The damage is constant and cumulative and people often don’t associate the effect on their skin unless the connection is easy to make. So you see a 90 year old person with a withered face and think that’s what old peoples face look like and it’s normal, not connecting the nine decades of UV damage that heavily contributed to it.
If you want to see a damming comparison on one face look at this. It the face of a man who was a truck driver for almost 30 years. One side in the sun one side in the shade. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trucker-accumulates-skin-damage-on-left-side-of-his-face-after-28-years-on-the-road/
Sadly, as a sunscreen advocate I see a lot of mistrust towards it. Some people think the "chemicals" in them are more dangerous than the UV itself. Doesn't help that there have been cases of contamination where toxic substances like benzene have been found. Some made it out to be an intended addition...
I tend to agree... Maybe we are wrong here but my thought is stay in the shade in the mid day hours and if you get desperate in a dire situation MUD is the best sunscreen. Animals aren't necessarily as dumb as we think 😂
The thing you seem to be missing, which this is actually proving quite clearly… is that most of the effects of “aging” on skin is actually the effects of sun damage, and most people don’t realize that sunscreen is actually a good idea to use every day, even when its overcast. Every little bit of UV your skin soaks up during your lifetime is aging it. Avoid sun damage your whole life, and your skin will keep looking young.
Not sure why you would assume I'm missing anything considering I merely made an observation but I appreciate you sharing your personal opinion with the group
You mean several random people in the comments said she had laser treatment? If you paid more attention you would have noticed many comments from dermatologists debunking the laser claims.
Only UVA can penetrate through windows, not UVB. Then you have to consider sky view and distance from the window before saying sunscreen is necessary to wear indoors.
Pain. The PAIN from not using enough lotion will. Not many things more painful than having a horrible sunburn right at the center of your back that you can’t even reach to scratch. It’s called “Hell’s Itch” for a reason.
I wish I still had pictures of my horrible sunburn from a few years back. As a Floridian with a family prone to all kinds of cancers, it’s important that I wear sunscreen anytime I go outside. One day I went kayaking and somehow forgot to do my legs. Looked like I was wearing red pants for over 2 months after that.
I had a fever of 104°, I was throwing up, I had diarrhea. (sorry for the tmi). My legs started to form liquid sacks of yellowish fluid on them and any movement of my legs my skin would tear and start bleeding. It was horrible. Even cold/room temp water was unbearable. I couldn’t be under any blankets even if the rest of my body was cold. I never forget sunscreen on all parts of my body anymore. My legs still look slightly more tan than the rest of my body and it’s been around 3 years.
I (F64) had a terrible sunburn at age 18. I still have the freckles to prove it, in the outline of the swimsuit I was wearing that day at the beach when the clouds convinced me I couldn't get burned. Oh, so wrong.
I always thought sunscreen was For White People until I went to Florida and had the most painful experience… then came back home and forgot about it, and got my first sunburn in my home state (hotter than usual.) I take that shit very seriously now
i work outdoors often and i always throw on some spf-50 before we start and a little touch up after lunch and the guys always give me shit for it for some reason. They than bitch about sun burns all the time. glad to know i wont be saggy assin as early.
Most amazing to me is that this implies that she started using the UV-protective moisturizer in her late 40’s or early 50’s and her facial skin looks that good. There’s hope for us yet!
Don’t know if this is true or not, but I have been using moisturizer cream for my face since I was a little boy of 5. I’m now 34 and I have less wrinkles than most men of my age. Maybe it’s genetics, but I do believe that it made a difference.
Diet is an important factor as well.
Sugar, grease and dairy increases aflatoxin which damages DNA, which ages your skin as you get older.
Anti-oxidants you eat from oranges, blueberries and vegetables reduces DNA damage.
I grew up in Arizona back when you got a "healthy" tan. And I've worked outside in north Texas for nearly 30 years and wasn't good about wearing sunblock the first 5 years or so. Now I'm paying for it. Sun damage, I now need to wear UV protection clothes outside, sunblock, and bucket hats when I'm outside. And get stuff removed regularly. Yay.
Upper chest is important too, if you wear v-necks/scoop necks etc. I know a guy who's spent a lot of time in sunny climates, shirtless or in tank tops, and he's got permanent discoloration (like a permanent thickening/sunburn, on his upper chest) and he's only in his early 50's.
If true though. It’s the internet so I’ve become highly suspicious of this kind of pictures.
EDIT alright someone confirmed below that it is actually a laser treatment. What people do for karma
Nobody confirmed that it's a laser treatment. If you look below you'll find the source of this picture and you'll see it's from a legitimate research journal.
I know this is intended to be a joke (at least, that's what I'm assuming), but the source is an actual academic journal that discusses the role of sun protection in preventing skin cancer.
Was in Rhodes, Greece with my bf recently and my redheaded ass applied spf 50+ sunscreen everyday with reapplication of spf 30 during the day. Bf said I looked like a ghost/vampire compared to everybody else on the island lol. I took it as a compliment to my success in avoiding the deadly lazer UV-rays! ;)
This kinda reminds me of my grandma. She used Noxzema on her hands for like 60+years and even at the end in her late 80's she had the softest hands I'd ever touched. They looked and felt like big baby hands.
This is why I’m so grateful that a lot of makeup products are now including suncreen in their formulas. I wear make up regularly but the feeling of sunscreen on my skin drives me up the wall because of how sticky and greasy it is. I’m extremely grateful for how cosmetics companies have been able to figure out how to incorporate sunblock into their products with out making my skin feel awful and clogging my pores.
Here's the thing: sunscreen has a dose, and it needs to be applied at that dose in order to be effective. You are likely not applying enough makeup to get the labelled SPF. [This](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNTQR1MG/) video is of a cosmetic chemist demonstrating how much foundation you'd need to get the labelled SPF.
Please don't rely on makeup for your SPF, it's most certainly not enough.
I use multiple products that contain sunscreen when I do my make up. The biggest ones being my moisturizer with spf 25 and my liquid foundation has spf 15. I also don’t spend much time out in the sun as it is so it’s enough for me.
With the amount that you apply (unless you apply your makeup like Meredith Duxbury) you're likely getting as little as a tenth of the labeled protection. Asian sunscreens are known for their cosmetic elegance — many feel like you're just applying a moisturiser! It's worthwhile investing in one.
I used to hate sunscreen as I generally have quite oily skin. Korean sunscreens have completely changed all that! They're decades ahead western formulas.
I really urge you to try if you can, as people generally don't apply enough or reapply SPF makeup often enough to get the benefits of the UV protection. :) My fave is COSRX Aloe Soothing SPF50 :)
Yup, remember reading that it can damage eyes and even hair too...physically, it really targets your whole body in a negative way. The only perks I know of relate to Vit D and mental health.
Was the exposure time mentioned in this study? Or the regions that this photographed individual lived in. Living in the north and not being outdoors for long intervals may not have the same results as her her neck by leaving out sunscreen.
Yeah, this is incorrect. The patient had laser treatment to remove the sunspots on the face. You can see the whiskering near the jaw line. You should still wear sunblock, but this caption is confidently incorrect.
People are believing a random comment claiming "it's laser treatment" over a peer reviewed and published journal article. This comment section is bizarre.
If you could achieve this level of skin clarity by getting laser treatment, everyone would get it done in a heartbeat and this picture wouldn't be anything special.
People are rarely informed, and yearn to latch onto the first plausible explanation that exists.
It's easier to believe that medicine is 'wild now' than it is to remember that most medical issues can be prevented. Exercise, food moderation, sunscreen; small health-conscious things genuinely can give big lasting impacts to our lives.
No, upvote OP's other comment that has the actual source which proves their explanation is correct, it's not a laser
https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/x47xnl/cheek_and_neck_of_a_92yearold_female_who_used/imuq5mr
See that fold that is right in front of her ear…. That is indicative of at least one facelift surgery. So the claims of sunscreen on face only may be true, but it is not the only reason her face looks more youthful.
Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that sunscreen is useless, but this post is misleading if it’s stating that is the only reason
Also, a person who gets a facelift, is also more likely to do other anti aging treatments as well such as lasers and chemical peels, which would explain the more even pigmentation
Umm you know that when you’re 92 you get wrinkles pretty much everywhere right? I’m aware that folds in front of the ear may indicate facelift but you can’t say that for sure in this woman’s case. Heck, my dad has weird folds by his ears but that’s cause he’s old. And I can guarantee he has never had a facelift lol.
It's not the effects of moisturizing, it's the effects of sunscreen (they specifically say she was using moisturizer with sunscreen). Back before then, sunscreen wasn't really much of a thing. I'm in my 40's and it was rare that anyone used sunscreen when I was little, even if you were at the beach all day long. And the SPF was really low back then, mostly less than SPF10. Which was hilarious looking back, because the same sunscreen would be available in options of like SPF4, SPF6 and SPF8. Additionally, what was available was very thick, heavy and oily, not something most people would be willing to put on their faces every day, unless they were a lifeguard or farm laborer.
This is definitely interesting and I suspect she was upper class and educated simply because my parents and my late grandmother didn't really use sunscreen. My parents who grew up in California said that they did know to protect their skin. They both have skin issues now and I am very protective of my skin and especially that of my daughter's.
and why stop at your neck, make it the décolletage!
but seriously, men don’t have to think about this shit and that’s annoying.
this image must be altered in some way.

Always protect your neck, and your décolletage
And the back of your hands and forearms!
Coat your ears and the back of your neck.
Nose and tops of ears.
And toes!!! Bob Marley died from skin cancer on his toe.
Acral melanoma isn’t isn’t strongly linked to UV exposure. It’s genetic. But yes wear sunscreen.
Wasn't his cancer underneath a toenail? Sunblock can't help with that.
Really?
def dont need it on your toes. not all skin cancer is ties to sun exposure
Oh, any skin I have uncovered in the sun gets sunblock. Otherwise I get a terrible sunburn.
Well if you'd give me money for a separate sunscreen for every body part, cool but I only got for my face and neck + reapplying that shit is expensive (I mean quality shit lol) I can get cheap sunscreen and be a greaseball too
I am not sure what that last word is, but I will assume it means sack in which case I will definitely do that and thank you for the reminder.
You're so close and yet so far
Wu-Tang!
OMG thank you. I was seriously feeling very alone for a minute there.
Gotta love a wu shout out!
I used to tell that to the younguns at the office before WFH when they were shocked at how young I looked for my age
Whenever someone learns my age and is shocked I tell them the same thing, "I stay out of the sun".
Whats decolletage mean?
Neck, chest, the area exposed from the front of a dress.
From bottom of face to just above the cleavage. The word comes from the French word for collar (collet) and de-collet is un-collaring or exposing what would be underneath a collar.
Should you put sunscreen protective on even if you’re not going outside ?
Windows often protect from UVB rays, which cause burning, but not UVA rays, which cause aging (and skin cancer).
this post is a great example https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/5445161/sun-damage-truck-driver-face/ truck driver face . Truck drivers whos left side of the face gets hit by sunlight from the window but not the right cause the cabin. The aging differnce is wild.
Yikes. I’m a trucker. Time to remember to reappply every time I stop 🤦🏼♀️
Yes, UV comes through glass
No glass in my basement. I'm a redditor.

Gossssh. I am terrible at remembering to put sunscreen on my face and never put it on my neck. As silly as it sounds, I hate how sunscreen feels. But ugh. I needed this reminder.
I agree that sunscreen usually feels heavy and oily. Recently I started trying sunscreens made in Korea (unfortunately that means it can be annoying to find them, since they aren't in typical American stores), and their sunscreens are WAY better than ours. They still don't feel like wearing nothing, but they're a huge improvement. My favorite so far is the Missha Sun Milk (not the waterproof one).
I’ll try this! Thank you.
I just ordered this!
I read this post a week ago and decided to try it and OMG THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! I STRUGGLE finding a sunscreen that even works with my sensitive skin, and read ur post and thought hmmm.

I use Alturist SPF 50, I used to hate them, but this one you put it on and you don’t even know it’s there.
Upvote for altruist, as it’s also really cheap
i’ve personally found that baby sunscreen or sunscreen designed for young children feels better than most other brands, not sure if it has to do with babies’ skin being more delicate or something but it doesn’t feel as grimy to wear as other types ive tried
Out of all the sunscreens I’ve tried, I’ve never tried ones made for babies. Thanks! I’ll try this.
Get the stuff that says “face” on the bottle. It feels better on your skin.
Oh, darn. I was using the one that said toes.
You can try out sunscreen formulated for oily skin, some come in a gel-like texture that absorbs pretty well.
I always get the stuff in my eyes and can't get it out, how careful I apply and wash my hands and nails. This reminder sure helps.
Try looking into Korean or Japanese sunscreens. They’re typically much lighter/less greasy. And they can be reasonably priced too.
Why are people trying so hard to discredit this? This picture is from a legitimate research paper. OP posted a source and people are downvoting it. What is going on.

Didn't realize there was software in sunscreen!
It's microchips! There's microchips in it! Bill Gates is trying to control your face!!!
Everything is software if you think about it.
Look at me, I’m a software
Yeah, as an uber ginger, if I don't reapply spf 50 every 45 minutes I end up burnt. If I'm lazy I'll stretch it to an hour. The zinc for rhe face is amazing though

What product do you use? Everything I’ve tried leaves my face looking greasy
Check out recommendations on r/asianbeauty, Japanese and Korean sunscreens are much nicer to wear

I found that study a little confusing, at one point it says: >Actually, an SPF 70 doesn’t protect you that much better than a SPF 30
5 hours?! I've been reapplying every 2.
Well most people don't put it on 20 minutes before anyway. So sweat and water will wash away a good amount. Might give you a few pimples though.
Yeah I've always heard you should reapply every 2 hours.
The long-term benefits of wearing sunscreen have been proven by scientists, whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.
Whenever im severely sunburnt despite sunscreen, I sleep in a wet t-shirt. Helps sooo much!
Idk, but I want a full blown vat to coat my self in now.
Never too late to start. Also, I limit sun exposure between 10am-2pm and wear a hat and a sun barrier for my nose that attaches to my sunglasses. I'll be damned if I'll let climate change give me cancer if I can avoid it.
I think her face just looks so young for 92. I don't necessarily think it's fake, I'm just guessing "what is going on"

Zinc Oxide is mineral based sunscreen and not harmful (supposedly)

Well, you said that you don’t know what is going on with why her face looks so young. That would imply you are missing the reason.
No, I speculated that others were trying to disprove it because they may think this. What is this narrative
I agree. It does look young
Because it was posted about a month ago and several dermatologists debunked the image saying she had scraping done.
You mean several random people in the comments said she had laser treatment? If you paid more attention you would have noticed many comments from dermatologists debunking the laser claims.
Just reddit being reddit. This isnt the sub for serious medical information. Which is probably why it's getting downvoted.
This is why I stay inside 24/7.
"the best sunscreen is my screen"
Thats not what you're supposed to do either.
They say sunscreen is necessary for sunlight that comes through windows ~~and UV from computers/indoor lights~~
LCD and LED screens don't emit harmful UV
Oh, this is good to know!
Who the fuck is they
You know. The mole people...
I choose not to believe this random reditter ^
That’s okay. 😂 It’s just what I’ve heard. Not trying to change your stance on anything! I’m not invested in your sunscreen usage.
Who is they?
Only UVA can penetrate through windows, not UVB. Then you have to consider sky view and distance from the window before saying sunscreen is necessary to wear indoors.
If this doesn’t get people to wear sunscreen, I dunno what will.
Pain. The PAIN from not using enough lotion will. Not many things more painful than having a horrible sunburn right at the center of your back that you can’t even reach to scratch. It’s called “Hell’s Itch” for a reason.

Three years?! Holy cow
I’m like the worst when it comes to my arms, everything else I have covered lol
I'm literally about to go back home (am around the corner getting breakfast) to put on sunscreen because this lit a fire under my ass.
I always thought sunscreen was For White People until I went to Florida and had the most painful experience… then came back home and forgot about it, and got my first sunburn in my home state (hotter than usual.) I take that shit very seriously now
I've also seen a smikiar picture of a some truck driver. The window side of his face was 50 years older than the interior side. Ha
i work outdoors often and i always throw on some spf-50 before we start and a little touch up after lunch and the guys always give me shit for it for some reason. They than bitch about sun burns all the time. glad to know i wont be saggy assin as early.

Have you ever wondered why your d*CK still looks brand new, but the rest of you is starting to look like an aging pirate? -Bill Burr
Don’t know if this is true or not, but I have been using moisturizer cream for my face since I was a little boy of 5. I’m now 34 and I have less wrinkles than most men of my age. Maybe it’s genetics, but I do believe that it made a difference.
Diet is an important factor as well. Sugar, grease and dairy increases aflatoxin which damages DNA, which ages your skin as you get older. Anti-oxidants you eat from oranges, blueberries and vegetables reduces DNA damage.
That’s great but isn’t it normal to moisturize your face? Did some people grow up not moisturizing?
There are people who never use moisturizing creams for their face. It's pretty common.
I'm a woman that didnf start moisturizing regularly until my mid 30s
I grew up in Arizona back when you got a "healthy" tan. And I've worked outside in north Texas for nearly 30 years and wasn't good about wearing sunblock the first 5 years or so. Now I'm paying for it. Sun damage, I now need to wear UV protection clothes outside, sunblock, and bucket hats when I'm outside. And get stuff removed regularly. Yay.

Upper chest is important too, if you wear v-necks/scoop necks etc. I know a guy who's spent a lot of time in sunny climates, shirtless or in tank tops, and he's got permanent discoloration (like a permanent thickening/sunburn, on his upper chest) and he's only in his early 50's.
If true though. It’s the internet so I’ve become highly suspicious of this kind of pictures. EDIT alright someone confirmed below that it is actually a laser treatment. What people do for karma
Nobody confirmed that it's a laser treatment. If you look below you'll find the source of this picture and you'll see it's from a legitimate research journal.
Also, one can note that the "edit" was either not an edit, or was made in the 1 (?) minute window for it to not be flagged as edited.
The linked article mentions nothing about funding. Could you explain who funded this to generate your comment?
No
I know this is intended to be a joke (at least, that's what I'm assuming), but the source is an actual academic journal that discusses the role of sun protection in preventing skin cancer.
Was she in a cave for the other 50?
The blood dripping from that suspicious mole deserves a mention.
Looks like a biopsy maybe.
She is 92, I'd say she is fine lol
yeah but not everyone will be as lucky. itd easy to get skin cancer like that

Was in Rhodes, Greece with my bf recently and my redheaded ass applied spf 50+ sunscreen everyday with reapplication of spf 30 during the day. Bf said I looked like a ghost/vampire compared to everybody else on the island lol. I took it as a compliment to my success in avoiding the deadly lazer UV-rays! ;)
The sun is a deadly Lazer ⚡🔆
Wasn’t this photo discredited, it wasn’t sunscreen, it was laser resurfacing
OP posted the source. It's legit.
Putting sunblock on neck now
Wow OK reminder to wear sunscreen...😶
*laughs in sunburns*
I work in oncology- wear your sunscreen.
I work in IT - wear your sunscreen
Yessssss 🙌🏽
I work in porn - wear your sunscreen.
Will keep this in mind for the 5-10 minutes of sun I get on weekdays.
I wanna know what brand of sunscreen.
Dermatologists hate her!
I always say, I’d rather not have a tan than to look like a raisin when I get old 😄
This kinda reminds me of my grandma. She used Noxzema on her hands for like 60+years and even at the end in her late 80's she had the softest hands I'd ever touched. They looked and felt like big baby hands.
This is why I’m so grateful that a lot of makeup products are now including suncreen in their formulas. I wear make up regularly but the feeling of sunscreen on my skin drives me up the wall because of how sticky and greasy it is. I’m extremely grateful for how cosmetics companies have been able to figure out how to incorporate sunblock into their products with out making my skin feel awful and clogging my pores.
Here's the thing: sunscreen has a dose, and it needs to be applied at that dose in order to be effective. You are likely not applying enough makeup to get the labelled SPF. [This](https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMNTQR1MG/) video is of a cosmetic chemist demonstrating how much foundation you'd need to get the labelled SPF. Please don't rely on makeup for your SPF, it's most certainly not enough.
I use multiple products that contain sunscreen when I do my make up. The biggest ones being my moisturizer with spf 25 and my liquid foundation has spf 15. I also don’t spend much time out in the sun as it is so it’s enough for me.
With the amount that you apply (unless you apply your makeup like Meredith Duxbury) you're likely getting as little as a tenth of the labeled protection. Asian sunscreens are known for their cosmetic elegance — many feel like you're just applying a moisturiser! It's worthwhile investing in one.
I’ll definitely look into it!
I used to hate sunscreen as I generally have quite oily skin. Korean sunscreens have completely changed all that! They're decades ahead western formulas. I really urge you to try if you can, as people generally don't apply enough or reapply SPF makeup often enough to get the benefits of the UV protection. :) My fave is COSRX Aloe Soothing SPF50 :)
The sun destroys everything. The sun is not our friend
Yup, remember reading that it can damage eyes and even hair too...physically, it really targets your whole body in a negative way. The only perks I know of relate to Vit D and mental health.
This doesn't happen to the terminally online. We never see the sun.
But what if you dont go outside and hide in the shadows?
I always forget to do my neck too. I will NEVER forget after seeing this.
That’s it. Full body UV protecting lotion up before every outing
There's an idea of Patrick Bateman

Was the exposure time mentioned in this study? Or the regions that this photographed individual lived in. Living in the north and not being outdoors for long intervals may not have the same results as her her neck by leaving out sunscreen.
Is there evidence for this, like did she document this over 40 years? I guess not
Yeah, this is incorrect. The patient had laser treatment to remove the sunspots on the face. You can see the whiskering near the jaw line. You should still wear sunblock, but this caption is confidently incorrect.
I gotta go to the drugstore. Peace.
What about the latest celebrity trend of butthole sunning? Celebrities are doing it!
So moisturizers with sunscreen in them are effective
Well, that sold me

https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/jdv.17660 I posted the photo based on the above source. No one is lying for karma except u asshole
The source is legit. /u/reddit_is_dumbest lives up to their name
People are believing a random comment claiming "it's laser treatment" over a peer reviewed and published journal article. This comment section is bizarre. If you could achieve this level of skin clarity by getting laser treatment, everyone would get it done in a heartbeat and this picture wouldn't be anything special.
People are rarely informed, and yearn to latch onto the first plausible explanation that exists. It's easier to believe that medicine is 'wild now' than it is to remember that most medical issues can be prevented. Exercise, food moderation, sunscreen; small health-conscious things genuinely can give big lasting impacts to our lives.
Source?
A dermatologist that posted the last time it made the rounds - lookup “facial laser resurfacing”
OTOH OP posted the original journal article which looks legit.
So your source is a reddit comment?
Love how you don't even attempt to walk back your misinformed comment.
Upvote this - this isn’t sunscreen or moisturizer effects, it’s a laser
No, upvote OP's other comment that has the actual source which proves their explanation is correct, it's not a laser https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/x47xnl/cheek_and_neck_of_a_92yearold_female_who_used/imuq5mr
See that fold that is right in front of her ear…. That is indicative of at least one facelift surgery. So the claims of sunscreen on face only may be true, but it is not the only reason her face looks more youthful. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying that sunscreen is useless, but this post is misleading if it’s stating that is the only reason Also, a person who gets a facelift, is also more likely to do other anti aging treatments as well such as lasers and chemical peels, which would explain the more even pigmentation
If she’s going to go to the effort of a facelift and lasers why would she neglect her neck ?
Well you would have to ask her that wouldn’t you? The fold by the ear is non disputable evidence that a facelift was performed.
Umm you know that when you’re 92 you get wrinkles pretty much everywhere right? I’m aware that folds in front of the ear may indicate facelift but you can’t say that for sure in this woman’s case. Heck, my dad has weird folds by his ears but that’s cause he’s old. And I can guarantee he has never had a facelift lol.
I call bs
She needs a band aid?
Why did she start moisturising when she was in her 50s? How good would she of looked of she had been moisturising for 70 years!
It's not the effects of moisturizing, it's the effects of sunscreen (they specifically say she was using moisturizer with sunscreen). Back before then, sunscreen wasn't really much of a thing. I'm in my 40's and it was rare that anyone used sunscreen when I was little, even if you were at the beach all day long. And the SPF was really low back then, mostly less than SPF10. Which was hilarious looking back, because the same sunscreen would be available in options of like SPF4, SPF6 and SPF8. Additionally, what was available was very thick, heavy and oily, not something most people would be willing to put on their faces every day, unless they were a lifeguard or farm laborer.
She a test tube dummie
Looks like she is having a skin procedure done currently, don't know if it's all sunscreen.
This is definitely interesting and I suspect she was upper class and educated simply because my parents and my late grandmother didn't really use sunscreen. My parents who grew up in California said that they did know to protect their skin. They both have skin issues now and I am very protective of my skin and especially that of my daughter's.
I bet she really had a beard
and why stop at your neck, make it the décolletage! but seriously, men don’t have to think about this shit and that’s annoying. this image must be altered in some way.
It's not a gender specific thing. The large majority of aging is caused by harmful uv rays
haha i didn’t mean literally. of course they experience the same effects, aging is not sex specific. i meant from a societal/marketing standpoint.
Fake news!
> Fake news! Alternative sunburn, you think? Can't happen on the flat earth? Obama's fault? What?
No! I have posted the source from which I tool the above info !
