Tried wearing sunscreen on my job in Miami. Got called "GAY" before lunch. Five minutes later the same coworker told me his cousin had skin cancer.
Here's what I keep thinking about. We're the ones who actually work outside. Construction, landscaping, valet, warehouse, roofing, delivery, cars detailing. we get more UV exposure than literally anyone. And the education on this for us is ZERO. Every sunscreen ad is white women on a beach. Every "men's skincare" brand looks like it's selling to bankers going to the pool on weekends.
We're the ones taking the real damage and we're the ones with nothing. Not the product, not the information, not even the permission to use it without getting clowned by the people standing next to us.
Anyone else on this sub working outside in South Florida? How do you handle it — do you use anything, or did you also give up? Why is there no education on this for the only group of men who actually need it?
