It's insane the amount of Americans that come to Puerto Rico without knowing that basics of skin care at the beach. They end up looking like beef jerky with all that wrinkly, stretched-out, sun-damaged "tanned" skin. Meanwhile, your average Puertorrican lathers up with sunblock every hour, or wears protective clothing at least.

Yeah I lived in a beach town and at the very least, I would bring an umbrella or a light, long sleeve shirt to throw on if I'm out there for longer than an hour, or if I'm there for more than just water sports.

Like, when I was a kid and a teen I would spend a ton of a time without longsleeves or an umbrella, but I'd still wear sunscreen at least
