I believe that the sun is our friend and not the enemy. We get natural sun protection from eating certain foods, like carrots with beta carotene. Also, from my research, people of color and older individuals, actually need more sunshine and vit D than paler people.

What about people with color? I’m Native American mix and Ive never been sunburned. I live in Florida and I only get tanner while Im at the beach or outside all day. Do I still need sunscreen? Is it a myth that I do not need as much sun protection as someone with fair skin?

So much propaganda we get on this one. Just heard another study trying do discount the value of vitamin D in changing low D blood levels, and further discounting the relationship between those levels and immune function. We were born into the light of our nearest star, and it is, in many ways, a nutrient.

Thanks for sharing this tip, here in the Philippines we have weather as high as 103 F. Very hot, and since we are surrounded by oceans our skin sure does get dehyrdated! Your tips will eventually help my skin become more mouisturized and wrinkled free!
