mmalc<p>(FWIW, personally I don't like sunscreen for a variety of reasons, not least because it tends to “wash” off when I need it most — working in the yard.

Lats (314 ppm)<p>I hate it! The TGA comes out with crap about reviewing the standards but don’t worry as everything is still safe until they issue new standards. Are we fools to believe that safety actually changes with the standards? They seem to be more concerned about public perception than they are about the truth rather consider that the public may just the TGA is just jollying us along and can’t be trusted.

Rich Stein (he/him)<p>🌞 Apparently there are some influencers who are now advising *against* wearing sunscreen. 🙄 There's a conspiracy born every minute. Don't fall for this one, either. Ask skin cancer survivors, those who now have wrinkly skin from too much exposure without sunscreen and trained medical personnel — doctors.
