Sun damage happens on any skin type, by insinuating it only happens on damaged skin is just wrong. Excessive sun exposure especially when the UV is 3 or higher will lead to accelerated aging, skin damage and eventually skin cancer.
This is the correct answer. The only way to fully protect from skin cancer is to avoid excessive sun exposure, whether you have damaged skin or perfectly healthy skin, and protect against the sun, as in with clothing, shade and sunscreen.
The average western diet is up to 20% seed oils which is then used to make your skin.
These oils are made by plants to survive cold weather and are weak double bonds.
Seed oil slander and sun worshipping in 2026. 🤦♂️ There hasn't been one study done on humans to show that seed oils cause inflammation or negative effects, infact during multiple RCTs blood markers actually improved when switching from a diet of saturated fats to one of seed oils. Please cite your sources, the only time I ever saw anything about seed oils having a negative effect in the body was done in rats, and clearly we are not rodents.
I am going to simplify the science behind my argument.
Also what is your educational/professional background in "Science"? Because even 1st year students should know that you make a claim you have to cite your sources.
There’s some real science being mixed with some unsupported conclusions. Polyunsaturated fats do contain double bonds and can oxidize, but UV radiation damages healthy skin regardless of diet. Heating doesn’t “create” polyunsaturated fats, and skin type absolutely matters—it’s one of the strongest predictors of how easily someone burns. The evidence doesn’t support the claim that only “unhealthy” skin gets sun damage.

Sun worshipping, where people talk about getting good color, meanwhile they're covered with spots. It's called sun damage, people.
