I'm a doctor. Here's why I wear sunblock indoors (washingtonpost.com)

Better to put up with rash guard long sleeve shirts and a sun hat than chemicals on your skin ... I only put sunblock on my hands now. The Koreans are selling new sunblock chemistries with advantages, the FDA is moving so slowly who knows when/if they will approve, probably being "paid off" by old legacy manufacturers to keep old stuff in the market.
I find wearing sunblock to be so unpleasant that if I can't take other measures (such as dressing in sunblocking clothing), I would much rather avoid doing activities that require it. If I had to wear it indoors, I don't know what I'd do. It would be intolerable.
