Fun fact, the southern hemisphere summer occurs in perihelion (when the earth is closest to the sun) combined with Australia’s position mean we get about 15% more UV than the northern hemisphere apparently. https://theconversation.com/how-does-the-ozone-layer-protect-earth-from-radiation-9206

Just walking for ten minutes in the summer sun gets you sunburnt. What was she thinking.

Yeah skin cancer is bad. Also, why would you want your skin to look like leather when you get older

Using a sun bed in such an ordinarily hot country is hilarious to me, because it’s so redundant.

LordOfLocksley ,

My thinking exactly.

I have a vitamin D deficiency. I already take a calcium + vitamin D supplement, it’s the height of the British summer (lol) and my vitamin D levels are still too low. My doctors advice is to eat lunch outside every day. Which would be fine if it wasn’t 15C and raining! I could really do with a 30second sun bed treatment every other week.

Similarly have seen sunbread suggestions as one way to try to treat eczema. Given a lot of eczema is caused by allergies to stuff in the air outside, just going outside can make it worse.

Edit: "sunbread suggestions" should be 'sunbed suggested". Sunbread probably won't do anything for eczema.

Years ago (maybe 20!) a boy I was at college with had sunbed treatments for acne. It did help but I don’t think they do that anymore. It’s roaccutane now but that has horrible side effects of its own.

Is that available under prescription?

SomeoneElse ,

I get mine on prescription but I have lupus. I’m pretty sure a relatively healthy person who has a vitamin D deficiency would be told to buy supplements. I take Fultium D3 which is prescription only. Your doctor will recommend a specific type if you need it, whether OTC or on prescription.

There was some research released just yesterday showing that basically everyone in the northern hemisphere would benefit by taking vitamin D + calcium. It massively reduces the rate of heart attacks for some reason. Do check with your doctor before taking anything that hasn’t been prescribed though.

Thank you very much, I was actually asking for my mum.
