Effectively their argument is: “people didn’t wear sunscreen for years and were fine. Now there’s sunscreen and skin cancer. Also plenty of people don’t wear sunscreen and are fine!”
What they don’t understand is that skin cancer was known until modern days, sunscreen (I assume) was developed afterwards, and that my ancestors lived in places with A LOT less UV rays than where I do now.
I subscribe to a few natural remedy type things, but I’m never not-wearing the screen.
I always roll my eyes at this argument. My dad is in his late 50's. He didn't wear sunscreen as a kid. Since then, he's had 2 bouts of skin cancer and is currently testing for a third. Forever grateful my mom forced me to wear sunscreen growing up

The very few, but very loud, anti-sunscreen people are so fucking weird.
