Dermatologist Shereene Idriss reacts to Chinese commuters using lotus leaves as sunscreen. She jokes about the trend while recommending actual UV protection: UPF visors, rash guards, and commercial lotus sleeves. Sun protection works best through clothing and behavior, not just sunscreen.
They see me rolling, trying to kiss me.
People call me nuts. This is what I call a commitment to sun protection. But Lotus sleeves, we can do better. Although I do applaud and commend their creativity. Sun protection is not just about applying sunscreen. It's about your behavior. And yes, sometimes it can be a little bit dramatic. My go to a UV visor, basically a high tech Lotus sleeve with both UVA and UVB protection. Think of it as sunglasses for your full face minus the pesticide inhalation. And don't sleep on a UPF rash guard because when I'm out with my kids and my husband, AKA my third child, I don't always remember to reapply sunscreen. Yes, sue me or don't, but the reality is wearing a UPF rash guard and wearing a visor is the passive way to remember to reapply or to protect yourself. These gays, they're trying to murder me. She meant to say these rays. These rays are trying to murder me. Bottom line, protect your face like a white lotus queen minus the lotus plant.
