You put one grape out all day, it'll start to shrivel by the end of the day. If you take a grape and you give it 20 minutes of sun, it won't shrivel for about a week or two. but it'll eventually shrivel, right? So the same premise exists. The sun protection or UV protection, and we talk about the sun, but the sun's a whole spectrum of wavelength of light.

The predominant ones that are a problem is in the UV region, both from a skin cancer standpoint and an aging standpoint. And when we talk about aging, it's UV-related breakdown of collagen and elastin, which is what gives our skin its elasticity, its suppleness, its volume, its look. Sun avoidance plays a much more direct, predictable role for premature aging than it does the cancer side.

So if you are somebody that wants to maintain the skin that you had as a baby, which I'm not sure why you'd want to do that, but if you wanted perfectly flawless skin for the rest of your life, then you would take much more sun protective measures. We know that association or that correlation is very linear.

Now, that being said, there are things that you can do to mitigate sun and sun damage that you've had in the past. So it's not like, oh, you know, the stuff you did in your teens and 20s and 30s, that's it. You're going to be a shriveled raisin in your 40s and 50s. It's not the case.

But just like, and no offense to anybody who's a vegan or doesn't believe in like leather or whatnot, but when you take hide and you leave it in the sun, it turns into tan, wrinkled leather. Same thing as our skin, right? aesthetically conscious, then your desire for sun protection may be more than somebody who's not.

So patients who are in the hospital, they look pale. They look ghastly. They're ill. And when you look at people who avoid the sun strictly in big cities, New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, et cetera, they have a similar appearance. And one cohort of patients are not sick. Another cohort of patients are sick. But your body has a very keen ability to tell you, hey, something's a little off.

And I'm not saying tanning means you're healthy. But there's a reason when you come back from vacation, you have a little bit of a vacation glow. It's your body has rested. It's tend to calm down. Usually we get a little bit more sun exposure and things like that when we're on vacation, especially summertime vacation. The problem with that is being able to measure that.
