Imo it does make sense what he says, that wearing dark glasses fools the brain into thinking it is night time, and therefor it doesn't need to produce any proteins for protecting the skin against sunlight.
If that turns out to be true, it would be better to wear light glasses for keeping dirt out of your eyes, so that the sunlight can still reach your retina ...
Oh yeah I don't disagree at all. I've long surmised covering your light sensors has a negative effect - but the intensity of the modern sun and the fact that debris leads to eye infections, trumps not wearing them in my situation.
Sun block and lotion? Yeah screw that. Coconut oil before and after sun exposure works for me. If you keep your skin moist with oil, it really helps.
I remember early on, everyone equated oil to like cooking oil... but after getting lobster red on a cruise in my 20s and locals hooked me up with fresh pressed coconut oil, the relief and protection were immediately realized and the proof was literally in the pudding...
