Okay is anyone else's skin burning way faster than normal in the UK right now? It feels like the sun is far more intense... Even my darker skinned friends are saying they are feeling a new intensity to the sun. But it's only like 21 degrees Celsius... It's weird.

Sunglasses do not meaningfully interfere with your body’s sun-protection response. This is a very pseudoscientific claim that sunglasses cause skin burn. Your body’s main “protection signal” comes from UV hitting your skin, not your eyes. Skin exposure to UV triggers Melanin production. Light entering the eyes affects hormones via the brain (circadian rhythms, etc.) But this is not the dominant mechanism for regulating skin protection.

You can all ratio and disagree with me as much as you want. Just give me actual evidence and i'll full concede. Not "check out so and so" Show me the evidence now or honestly stfu lol.

@TheProjectUnity You're wrong on this one.

@TheProjectUnity incorrect

@TheProjectUnity have some news for you Jay. @DrJackKruse

@TheProjectUnity Sorry bro, love ur work, but I suggest looking into Dr Jack Kruse. Sunglasses affect melanocytes.

It's fine to disagree, but that doesn't make it "pseudoscience". Sunglasses block most UVB rays. So your eyes are telling your brain it's late in the day, while your skin is getting blasted by the primary wavelength that causes sunburn. I'm not saying that sunglasses cause sunburn, but they do confuse your body's natural defenses against it.

@TheProjectUnity You are wrong.You need vitamin D and wearing sunglasses stops it from entering through your eyes.

@TheProjectUnity It does lower your optical brightness tolerance over time if you wear them super consistently, so you have to wear sunglasses more often

@TheProjectUnity you're so wrong here there are many studies that evidence this just don't tell @zaidkdahhaj or he'll tear you a new one

@TheProjectUnity It may not be the dominant mechanism, but it is significant. You of all people should understand the synergistic nature of complex systems. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@TheProjectUnity The eyes are a window to your central nervous system. Filtering that while your skin gets another spectrum doesnt sound like shooting your dick a little?
