I did it. After months of putting it off, I finally bought myself sunscreen. I did it because I really need to wear sunscreen daily: I'm pretty sure I'm the only person who can get sunburn indoors.
So I got the highest SPF that was also non-oily: At this particular target, it was SPF 55. If I were in charge of the world, I'd put a little card with every bottle of sunscreen that was above SPF 50 that reassured you that it was okay to never have a tan ever. Something like 'pale and pasty is the new look!' or 'you never know when you'd need your blindingly white chest to signal to rescue aircraft where you are'.
To be fair, there are also good reasons to wear sunscreen. I had a spot removed from my back once because they thought it might have been a melanoma. A scary thing like that happening to a guy who doesn't work outside much at all... this is why I'm not an outdoorsy person. The spot wasn't cancer, but they never told me what it was. It could have been a mole, it could have been spilled brown sauce.
