I have seen people who have lived in hot dry climate and their skin was very leathery due to sun exposure. I have never been a sun worshipper, but, I love to soak up sunlight for fighting depression. Sunblock and sun protection have always appealed to me simply because of the scents in them. I am also pleased to say that, even though I have had oily skin, sun block does not cause break-outs. I also love wearing hats of many styles so that has helped also.
