Being aware and caring about it are different things. When I was a child and my family went to a beach (which was roughly maybe 2 weeks out of a year), parents encouraged tanning a lot. "Get those sun vitamins" and all.

And then my grandfather died from skin cancer. You bet that as an adult, I am not exposing much of my skin to sun at all when I am out on a sunny day, and I apply sunscreen to my face daily. I have no issues with being shirtless otherwise, and do it quite often, mostly at the gym.

Disclaimer: my gym is a small local one, not a massive chain, and being shirtless there is both explicitly allowed and is very common. At any given point, about a quarter of the people there will be shirtless.
