Rarely wear sunscreen as it wasn't around years ago, or not as well accepted and used as it is today. There are alternatives. I love the feeling of the warm sun. Makes me feel good..However, sun exposure
over many years, including sun burns, in an effort to get an early tan, has led to skin damage (A K ) and some skin cancers...Now it is a hat with a large brim*, long pants and long sleeved shirts, with crew
neck T-shirts.
With that said, I try and keep out of direct sunlight in the intense hours as much as possible.
* being Canadian, I have to put a plug in for "Tilley" hats. They make some excellent hats that offer very good sun protection.
