    Sunscreen defeats the purpose of sun exposure, as it blocks vitamin d production.

    Much better just to get 20 minutes of sun a day, on as much skin as possible, without burning.

    So if you burn in ten minutes, go out for 5 or 6 minutes, a couple times a day, protecting more sensitive skin with clothing as much as possible, reserving sunscreen for things that can’t be otherwise protected (nose, ears, etc). And use an old-school sunscreen that’s a physical barrier.
