Raw food...no sunscreen?

I was wondering if it was nessesary to continue using sunscreen if you are raw vegan.

What have you notice in skin pigment or texture after becoming raw?

Sunscreen is really un-natural. Native people never used sunscreen, and they were eatting

a very natural diet of the fruits and vegetables around them, and they never ended up with skin cancer.

I'm starting to think that possibly the chemicals in sunscreen could actually deem more problematic

then a benefitual aspect.

What do you think? Should I still continue to use sunscreen?

    Of course there are so many different ideas out there but I have heard that shea butter has a natural spf of about 15. Also, supposedly, if you keep your skin well hydrated from the inside and outside skin cancer could potentially be prevented because the cells are damaged when the skin is allowed to dry out. This info came from my aesthetician and has been working well for me for a couple of years, however, I have fairly dark skin. Studies have been done that link sunscreen to skin cancer but its just so hard to say. Covering up seems like the safest bet!

    thankyou all for you comments. I guess the best thing to do is to find a natural sunscreen.

    Shea butter seems like a good idea.
