The Sun's Dark Side: The Source and Harm of UV Radiation
By Dale C. S. Destin – Published 03 April 2024 |
The sun, our ultimate source of energy, illuminates our world and fills it with warmth and light. However, along with its benefits, the sun also emits a potentially harmful form of radiation: ultraviolet (UV) radiation. While UV radiation plays a crucial role in vitamin D production and overall health, overexposure can have serious consequences…

ya girl is going out to pick up some SPF 70 sunscreen today because it's now possible to absorb UV radiation for the first time in months & she has an autoimmune disease. i am a paragon of adult responsibility.

As per usual, Texas is on fire, so I’m on the deck enjoying some lizard time to stop rotting in bed like a melancholy Victorian maiden
And as your favorite Margaritaville DILF, it’s my duty to remind you to ✨WEAR SO MUCH SUNSCREEN EVEN IN THE SHADE✨
Thank u

I keep seeing posts that are like "you don't need a complicated skincare regimen!" and then proceed to list like the "only" 20 things you need. Or "you don't need to wear makeup!" and then list "only" 10 makeup essentials
like....
when I say you don't need a skincare regimen I mean you don't NEED to do anything. If you protect your skin with hat/clothes, you don't even need much sunscreen. If you're exposed, wear sunscreen. If you have some problem, seek out a solution, but these solutions aren't universal because we're all different and live in different climates. My skin doesn't even demand moisturizer most of the time. Yours might. But there's no list of things you have to buy.
when I say you don't need makeup, I mean you don't need ANY. In my early 20s I never went out without some makeup, but for years I have worn NONE (absent the odd concealer bc turns out acne never goes away) and literally nothing bad has happened as a result. Wear makeup if you want (or if you're in a culture/industry that demands it, which is very real), but let's be clear that it isn't in any way necessary
at some point, just own the fact that you like buying this shit, which is FINE.
reading these things makes me feel like I'm losing my marbles I swear to god
