Ann Intern Med. 2013 Jun 4;158(11):781-90. doi: 10.7326/0003-4819-158-11-201306040-00002.
Sunscreen and prevention of skin aging: a randomized trial.
Hughes MC1, Williams GM, Baker P, Green AC.

BACKGROUND:
Sunscreen use and dietary antioxidants are advocated as preventives of skin aging, but supporting evidence is lacking.

OBJECTIVE:
To determine whether regular use of sunscreen compared with discretionary use or β-carotene supplements compared with placebo retard skin aging, measured by degree of photoaging.

DESIGN:
Randomized, controlled, community-based intervention. (Australian New Zealand Clinical Trials Registry: ACTRN12610000086066).

PATIENTS:
903 adults younger than 55 years out of 1621 adults randomly selected from a community register.

INTERVENTION:
Random assignment into 4 groups:

• daily use of broad-spectrum sunscreen and 30 mg of β-carotene
• daily use of sunscreen and placebo
• discretionary use of sunscreen and 30 mg of β-carotene
• discretionary use of sunscreen and placebo.

MEASUREMENTS:
Change in microtopography between 1992 and 1996 in the sunscreen and β-carotene groups compared with controls, graded by assessors blinded to treatment allocation.

RESULTS:

• The daily sunscreen group showed no detectable increase in skin aging after 4.5 years.
• Skin aging from baseline to the end of the trial was 24% less in the daily sunscreen group than in the discretionary sunscreen group (relative odds, 0.76 [95% CI, 0.59 to 0.98]).
• β-Carotene supplementation had no overall effect on skin aging, although contrasting associations were seen in subgroups with different severity of aging at baseline.

CONCLUSION:
Regular sunscreen use retards skin aging in healthy, middle-aged men and women. No overall effect of β-carotene on skin aging was identified, and further study is required to definitively exclude potential benefit or potential harm.

So should I use sun screen or no??

If no than how to prevent yourself from the sun?

Suncreen definitely slows down aging from photodamage.
you should just try to use a good one

this website has a legit guide on sunscreens ==> https://www.ewg.org/sunscreen/

these 2 sites have very easy homemade DIY recipes:

• https://mommypotamus.com/how-to-make-non-toxic-homemade-sunscreen/
• https://wellnessmama.com/2558/homemade-sunscreen/

Ideally you should not be out in the sun without "cover."
(sidenote: indoors with light through window glass = only photodamage without positive effects of sunlight)
Always try to build up sun tolerance gradually, and get in the shade or cover up with a hat and shirt once you’ve had enough sun.

I have a friend who knows her shit. She told me to use some moisturizing 50 SPF

the problem is that a lot of them have endocrine disruptors in the ingredients.

it might be good for your skin, but it goes into your bloodstream, as well.
you have to be careful.

you should get 5-10min of sunlight with minimum clothing in the middle of the day for vitDmaxxing, and a lot of other sunlight benefits.
also, even if not under the sun, being in a bright environment during the early day is very important for circadian rythm regulation, test levels, etc.

Use sunscreen, even better yet, avoid the sun altogether.
Try to sleep 7-8 hours a day. But to be honest, who gives a fuck, sleeping too much can cause depression.
Also, eat healthy
