I think I’m with you on the evolution vs sunscreen debate.
The reason though people need sunscreen is because they spend so much time covered and indoors. Our skin needs to build its protection through slowly increased exposure. If we go out in the sun in the middle of summer for our first dose we’ll get burned and that is shit. Also, the idea of going out into the blazing hot midday sun with bare skin is frikin cray cray. Find me any mammal that doesn’t find shade during the hottest parts of the summers day.
My strategy for the last 20 years has been to get out in the sun as early in the year as possible, even warm late winter days here in Korea (overcoming the funny looks I receive 🤣). Then as summer and intensity builds start getting out before 11:30am and after 3:30/4pm, all without sunscreen. Then if I have to be out between the hottest hours I wear a wide brimmed hat and a long sleeve linen shirt.
Works a treat, get your vitamin D dosage, no sunscreen needed.
