A base tan hahahahahhahahahahah mahhhhh god unhinged indeed
Her strategy clearly isn’t working
She’s in her 70s in Australia so actually it is.
Looks good for 70 actually!
True, but also she would have had the majority of the damage long, long ago. They were doomed from the start. Still terrible advice though.
A base tan is unhinged but our need for sunlight is not. A few minutes a day are necessary for many organ functions, especially our immune system. I know this because I live it. I have a Primary Immunodeficiency. My Immunologist told me years ago to get 5 minutes of direct sunlight a day without sunscreen. With treatment, I’ve outlived my life expectancy by 9 years. Is it the sun? Possibly. And it sure hasn’t hurt. 😊
This is so true because same .
You should watch Andrew Huberman he often recomend going outside in the morning to get sunlight to get better sleep, talk about protecting from the sun to not get burn using physical protection but stop with the I hate sun trend
@@Supercalifragil Sleep experts discuss visible sunlight to get the person to fully awake. Theres no portion of this impacted by SPF. Aka suncream doesn’t make the sun less bright to the eye.
@@jessabeauty917 Ohhh Im not against sunscreen, I took that info from Andrew Huberman he talk about using sunscreen (if you want everyday) but mention that physical protection wasn’t always mention like wearing a hat
And If I told you my opinion I think, if someone is going to be in the sun over a long period if time even with reaplication I would use a physical protection like an umbrella or a hat
Not if you take vitamin D supplements instead. I don’t do sun, I do 2 small capsules / 2,000 IU per day and my levels are all good.
She sounds Australian and doing that in Australia is the worst idea I’ve heard in a while
Yeah that lady looks like she lays out all day. And that’s not a compliment.
People conflate sunburn as being the only type of sun damage. What shes suggesting will indeed help you in not getting sunburned. What shes not understanding is that just because your skin isnt lobster red, peeling, and painful does *not* mean that your skin is not damaged from the sun. Tan itself is sun damage. It doesnt really matter if you go low and slow like shes suggesting. Your skin is keeping score and it makes no difference in the long run. Just wear sunscreen and/or other forms of sun protection (clothing, hats, etc.) There are plenty of options to choose from today if you’re opposed to certain ingredients.
THIS!!!! The sun is actually good for us but tanning is indeed a type of sunburn and we should still be wearing sunscreen.
Australian here! We have the highest cancer rates in the world because of skin cancer. Also, I know many white Australians who have skin cancer on the face because they don’t wear sunscreen or a hat.
Australia sun burns me easily. I’m a Midwest gal and when I went to Florida without sunscreen I got burnt 🥵 immediately. Don’t underestimate the Southern sun rays or states below the 41st coordinates
Texas here, 15 mins front and 15 mins back in our sun = RIP. My skin could never lol
I’m in Texas, too, and the RIP part was funny 😂 made me laugh ’cause it’s true!
@@MelZel7 everything is bigger in Texas, including the sun
I moved here when I was 20 and I got burned to a crisp my first summer. My normal sunscreen regime did not work the same here. I also got into poison ivy so that really complicated things. 21 years later and I’ve never had a burn. My vitamin D levels are always terrible though 😂
@@jennybee42 omigish! A double whammy 🥺
This lady in the video is so confidently wrong. It’s boggling. Just wear the damn sunscreen!
Omg. The sunbake 15 minute rule. 😂😂 Tanning is sun damage. 😂😂.
15 minutes front and back for a week? Glad we know better now
Forgot to mention that being under an umbrella also does not mean you’re protected from all UV exposure, especially if you’re at the beach/water where sun reflects a lot.
If you look at older Australians who got a lot of sun damage before the sunscreen campaigns began, you can see what it’s done to them. Those 60 Minute Under Investigation episodes will have like six or eight grizzled people in each episode. Their skin is something you don’t see in Canada, even among old people who grew up before sunscreen became popular. Except maybe in those people who smoked, used tanning beds, or went to Florida a lot.
Bold of her to talk about common sense when she has none
I wish you were around back in the 80’s and 90’s.
I grew up with the “base tan” mentality. It was before we knew that a tan was a skin injury. Things have changed ❤
I wear sunscreen daily even in the winter in Ireland, and there’s hardly any sun some weeks. When my hairdresser commented on how good my skin looks I said it’s because I wear sunscreen and they just won’t believe me. It’s so simple!! I do nothing else but sunscreen and occasional moisturizer. (I do it for health reasons btw, but the side effects is nice skin)
Same here. I always get “what’s your secret? Your skin is so youthful “. I say “sunscreen everyday, no matter what”.
My mother always got terrible sunburns if she didn’t protect her skin. Until one year when she was determined to get a tan. She set a timer and spent 20 minutes a day sunbathing.
She got her tan, but she got something else: a skin cancer diagnosis. She had such a large cancerous and pre-cancerous region on her neck that she needed reconstructive surgery from a plastic surgeon after it was removed. She spent several days in the hospital.
Of course that single summer of tanning wasn’t the entire cause – the sunburns she’d had in her childhood and younger life contributed. But her doctors made it absolutely clear: even gradual tans aren’t safe. Skin must be protected at all times.
The sun has clearly aged her.
Back in the 60s in Australia, we used to sunbake, smothering ourselves with coconut oil. If my memory is correct there was a radio station, broadcasting over speakers on the beach, which rang a bell every 15 minutes so we’d turn over! Sunscreen wasn’t a thing then. I was brought up on the beach with parents fishing. Days on end over the Christmas School holidays. I had a really bad burn one year at around 17yrs age and never sunbaked again. At 77 now, I do have great skin, as have been very careful since that burn, but have had 3 benign sun spots removed. Education is the key and I wear tinted sunscreen every single day.
