    I hope "chemical free" is just a joke...

    Sunscreens are generally either mineral based or chemical based.

    And all inferior to letting another material tank the UV damage.

    Keeping skin pretty is completely out of the realm of reasons for religious coverings tho

        Isn't it? I assumed that that is a big reason that religions that start in a desert demand that all members, regardless of gender, cover most of their skin in clothing

        "Son, wear your long sleeve shirt. You know how prone you are to sun burn."

        "But dad, it is so hot outside and my clothes are so stuffy and I will only be outside for 15 minutes, tops."

        "Well guess what, son. I just spoke to God and he told me that boys who don't wear long clothes outside go to hell. That is why you turn red and painful from sunburn, to remind you that you will roast in hell."

              You didn't even care to look up "chemicals" in any dictionary. Dumb and lazy.

                Might be too hot. Better cover them up as well!

                I've seen this once in the wild...oddly enough you could see right through the suit when the sun hit it just right.

                  I still see one now and then. It might look odd to someone younger, but I saw them so often as a kid, that it barely even registers when I see one.

                    When I visited Spain, they wouldn't let you swim in the hotel pools unless you had a cap.

                      Just a social norm. Allegedly keeps the water cleaner with less hair and detritus. However, you're still expected to wear one if you're bald. I certainly didn't agree with it. I think it's more important just to shower up before swimming.
