50’s and 60’s for protection the choices were zinc oxide, sea&ski and clothes. We spent a good part the summers at the Colorado River. Got burned the fvvk up. Used all three. My dad had a bunch burned/cut off, my mom and sisters less but some, me nada. Never been to a dermatologist. Clean living? Luck of the draw?
Dieta?
I've been "lucky" too, or whatever it is.
Surfing since early on, at the beach since a baby.
Personally, "clothes make a man" in this case.
Also, "there is no such thing as foul weather, there is however poor foul weather gear".
Diet, and have always made it a point to start exposing in very small increments early on during the year when the sun is furthest south... By the time she gets up close to us in late spring, me a brown buggah.
Also, genetrix have mucho to do.
Me 6% African. Mostly between my legs and in the "fro-ness", but also apparently in sun resistance?
