@kennethbaghdassarian: Thought I was immune because my dad is brown. Although I did start two weeks ago and haven’t noticed a thing. Going to need a dermatologist to reverse the redness eventually (and/or if a girl would be so kind to drop an OTC recommendation below that would be appreciated). #fyp #skincare #redness

Dark skin is made to absorb more sunlight and lighter skin developed in northern populations to absorb the same amount of light, but in places where there were less sunlight and UV available, e.g. Scandinavia and England. When African populations started moving out of Africa and into northern Europe, the skin also had to adapt because in northern climates, the sun was much less harsh, and humans with lighter skin were favored in natural selection because they got slightly more UV radiation and vitamin D, making them much healthier than their darker counterparts. Over thousands of years these mutations piled up and were perfect for northern areas because they allowed people in areas with much lower sunlight to get the same amount of vitamin D as they did when they were still in Africa. Keep in mind, these mutations were crafted for VERY northern places with rainy, cold, and dark weather, but as humans started to develop more and civilizations began to get more advanced, humans started moving elsewhere, e.g. when people from England (a place with naturally occurring fair skin) started to move to places like Australia (a place with aboriginals with naturally very dark skin) in the 1770’s, skin cancer cases exploded, because all these fair skinned people randomly started moving to an extremely high UV environment with little to no protection, which is why skin cancer is only a recent thing, which threw natural selection completely off-balance. Even in the US, when the Europeans arrived, all the Indians had very dark skin, because that’s how they adapted to the high UV environment that America is over thousands of generations, just like how Europeans did the same, but for lighter skin. So, if you are a fair skinned person living ANYWHERE that’s not northern Europe, your skin is not properly adapted to your environment, and sunscreen is a must to have healthy skin and avoid skin cancer from UV.

Doesn’t matter if his face turns red or not. Your skin gets damaged as soon as you step into the sun.

Are you regularly using sunscreen now? If not, that’s step one. If you’re now good about sun protection, I’d add a prescription retinol. Once step two is in place and you’re past the six weeks of retinol induced bad skin, then add a topical vitamin c. This should be a high quality one - not all vitamin C serums are created equally. I do vitamin C in the morning and retinol at night. After that, I’d perhaps think about working with a derm for laser stuff and can go more into that if you want. But a good sun care routine and retinol will go miles and is pretty simple.

You should apply sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you leave the house. This gives the active ingredients time to bind to your skin and form a protective, even film before you are exposed to UV rays. Use umbrella for sun protection as well, highly effective way to block ultraviolet rays and lower skin temperature, provided it features a certified UPF 50+ rating and a reflective coating rather than standard rain fabric… and always carry a portable/rechargeable fan to keep you cool. You should reapply sunscreen every two hours when outdoors, and immediately after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. 💋

Consider Azalaic acid and or vitamin c serum for redness and sun damage. Both are available over the counter. Azalaic acid 10% is pretty affordable, the Anua (I think) brand is pretty popular. Maybe $20? Vitamin c is a bit more expensive for a formulation that actually works well. it’s very unstable, so only the expensive ones really work 😔

Humans lived without sunscreen for ever. Now we are told to put chemicals on our skin to protect us from the same sun that fueled human evolution

Cut out all seed oils go to steak and eggs make sure it’s grass finished the seed oils oxidize under uv rays it’s really the only reason you would burn other than getting way to much sun at the highest uv rays
