- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).

They conquered that?
How?
.... you know, out of scientific curiosity.
Mineral zinc
As a Fitzpatrick skin type 1 living in Australia, zinc is my best friend.
I'm pale enough that you can't even tell I've got white paste on my face, and I'm physically blocking the sun.
I have a 50 SPF moisturiser that I use daily before I leave the house, even in winter, and I reapply it several times a day in summer, but I still get sun burnt if I don't also wear zinc.
Now that I'm older I've gotten a lot better at often wearing a wide brim hat and long sleeves in the summer, but it's not always possible.
Zinc is also reef safe for beach wear, and doesn't contain avobenzone so it will provide longer protection from UVA rays, and no risk of irritation if applied prior to swimming in a chlorinated pool. (avobenzone and chlorine are not friends)
I'll be sure to pass this on to all my vampi.... I mean, wow, that is a very fascinating thing to read, I'll surely take what you said into consideration the next time I'm shopping for sunscreen.
Yet another vampire familiar wasting the day on Lemmy.
Well the scottish side have been here in southern California for about 150 years, the Irish for about 110 years, and the German for about 100 years. Also I can be under high UV and only start burning after about 2 hours.
We conquered that weakness, now if only we could get rid of the madness, actually nevermind on that one being able to go into a berserk fury by will alone is fucking useful. Good for cussing out shitty bosses and feeling high as a kite while at it, just gotta keep from trying to kill them.
