Let's see... go with your 'doubts' OR the advice of dermatologists/
doctors...? Hmmmm... I think it's probably wiser to go the latter,
with people who actually STUDY the effects, and say it's best to limit
your exposure to early morning/very late afternoon sun (less than 30
minutes will get you all the vitamin D you need) and keep the skin
covered or try to stay out of it as much as possible the rest of the
day.

I don't want skin/face that looks like a prune.

Let's see.... go with what makes sense in the real world or go with
what doesn't make sense in the real world.... hmmmmm?

Dermatologists don't *study* sun, sun exposure and skin cancer. They
study conditions and treatments. They treat patients and conditions
according to what they've been taught in med school. And virtually all
the universities where medical doctors are taught the subject is
heavily funded by either the food industry or the pharmaceutical
industry or both.

Again here is what makes sense.

1) We evolved as an organism with the sun, why would moderate exposure
over a lifetime become dangerous to us.

2) Skin cancers do not commonly occur on the parts of the body that
gets the most exposure.

3) The states where there is more chance of sun exposure has less skin
cancers than states with less chance of sun exposure.

remains, however improbable, must be the truth." (Sherlock Holmes)
