Having grown up living near or on the beach my whole life in both temperate
and tropical climes, I have noticed that within a few years the sun can male
plastic disappear (bottles and discarded dolls, etc.); and with a few more
years even auto tires.
I refuse to allow my kids here in the tropics to where that pseudo screen
creams. It may stop the reddening but I doubt in can stop the cellular
damage.
Accumulation of cell damage leads to the big C of skin.
Hats and shirts, reduced midday surf time and whatever else keeps them out
of the "rays". Notice field worker in 3rd world always wearing mostly black
colors to block the rays and keep themselves the coolest (in spite of the
black) and cover up from head to toe to the back of the hands, sure it is
for cosmetic and vanity issues but it also applies to skin damage.
Screen the sun with a block you cannot shine sun rays through: roofs, hats
w/ wide brims, solid clothes, cover up, allow a little exposure each day for
some natural color if you like it.
