Everything about the best sunscreen for your protection

Short film based on the hit song by Baz Luhrmann – Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen.

The words of the Sunscreen Song are taken from a column that appeared in the Chicago Tribune on June 1, 1997 entitled “ADVICE, LIKE YOUTH, PROBABLY JUST WASTED ON THE YOUNG” by staff writer Mary Schmich.

Sometime around Thursday, July 31, 1997, Mary’s article found it’s way onto the internet in the form of an email hoax, claiming to be the 1997 commencement address of Kurt Vonnegut to MIT grads. The real address that year was actually delivered by U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan on June 5. You can find it posted on MIT’s website.

A year later, the email re-circulated claiming to be Kurt’s commencement address to the Class of 1998!

The email caught the attention of Australian film director Baz Luhrmann, who is best known for two films — “Strictly Ballroom,” about competitive dancing, and a 1996 remake of “Romeo and Juliet,” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Claire Danes.

Luhrmann eventually tracked the source of the speech to Schmich, and contacted Chicago Tribune management to buy the rights to the words to turn it into a song. He took Quindon Tarver’s “Everybody’s Free (to Feel Good)” song, remixed it, and hired Sydney actor Lee Perry to read Schmich’s “speech”. The end result became the seven-minute long “Sunscreen Song”.

The song received heavy airplay from American radio stations nationwide after KNRK in Portland aired an edited (about 4 1/2 minute) version in the spring of 1999 — about the time of graduation that year. According to Luhrmann’s label, Capitol Records, it became the most requested song on radio morning shows in Atlanta and Philadelphia.

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of ’99 (kinda old lol)

“WEAR SUNSCREEN!”

If I could offer you only one tip for the future, “sunscreen” would be it.

The long-term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by scientists,

whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.

I will dispense this advice NOW!

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth.

Oh, never mind.

You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they’ve faded.

But trust me, in 20 years, you’ll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked.

You are not as fat as you imagine.

Don’t worry about the future.
Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.

The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind,

The kind that blindside you at 4 pm on some idle Tuesday.

Do one thing every day that scares you.

Sing

Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts.
Don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss

Don’t waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you’re ahead, sometimes you’re behind.

The race is long and, in the end, it’s only with yourself.

Remember compliments you receive.

Forget the insults.

If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.

Keep your old love letters.

Throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch

Don’t feel guilty if you don’t know what you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn’t know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don’t.

Get plenty of calcium.

Be kind to your knees.

You’ll miss them when they’re gone.

Maybe you’ll marry, maybe you won’t.
Maybe you’ll have children, maybe you won’t.
Maybe you’ll divorce at 40.

Maybe you’ll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.

Whatever you do, don’t congratulate yourself too much,

or berate yourself either.

Your choices are half chance.

So are everybody else’s.

Enjoy your body.
Use it every way you can.

Don’t be afraid of it or of what other people think of it.

It’s the greatest instrument you’ll ever own.

Dance

Even if you have nowhere to do it but your living room.

Read the directions, even if you don’t follow them.

Do not read beauty magazines.

They will only make you feel ugly.

“Brother and sister together we’ll make it through,
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know that you’re hurting but I’ve been waiting there for you
and I’ll be there just helping you out
whenever I can…”

Get to know your parents.

You never know when they’ll be gone for good.

Be nice to your siblings.

They’re your best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future.

Understand that friends come and go,

but with a precious few you should hold on.

Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle, because the older you get,

the more you need the people who knew you when you were young.

Live in “New York City” once, but leave before it makes you hard.

Live in “Northern California” once, but leave before it makes you soft.

Travel

Accept certain inalienable truths:
Prices will rise.

Politicians will philander.

You, too, will get old.

And when you do, you’ll fantasize that when you were young,

prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don’t expect anyone else to support you.

Maybe you have a trust fund.

Maybe you’ll have a wealthy spouse.

But you never know when either one might run out.

Don’t mess too much with your hair or by the time you’re 40 it will look 85.

Be careful whose advice you buy,

but be patient with those who supply it.

Advice is a form of nostalgia.

Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,

wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it’s worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

“Brother and sister together we’ll make it through,
Someday a spirit will take you and guide you there
I know that you’re hurting but I’ve been waiting there for you
and I’ll be there just helping you out
whenever I can…”

Everybody’s Free, Everybody’s Free

To Feel Good!

WFMY News 2 – Sunscreen

Posted by admin

Summertime means longer days, more sun, and more sunburns.

Many of us think the sunscreen we use is protection enough. But as 2 Wants To Know found out… not all sunscreens are created equal…even if they claim they are!

“If you want the best protection you can get, go for high SPF and UV protection,” says Joe Stanfield. Stanfield runs Suncare Lab in Winston-Salem which tests sunscreen for manufacturers.

Each product is tested on 20 people using simulated sunlight…UVB and UVA rays. The lab averages the findings to come up with the SPF. The SPF is what shields you from UVB rays.

“UVB produces sunburn. UVA is not as powerful for sunburn and penetrates deeper.”

According to the CDC, UVA contributes to long term skin damage. And even though your bottle says it protects you from UVA …

“Unfortunately in the U.S. there is no way to tell how much UVA protection a product provides because the FDA has not approved any kind of labeling for UVA.”

Which means the words “UVA Protection” can be on the bottle, even if the protection is just 1%.

To get the most UVA protection available, your suncreen must have both avobenzone and octocrylene.

“That will tell you that you are buying the best UVA protection you can get.”

No matter what kind you use, it won’t be effective if you don’t use enough. The amount Suncare Lab uses on these small testing sites translates to a little more than an ounce in real life.
