Man eats sunscreen to prove point from @karlkarma
The creator starts by holding up a stick of sunscreen and stating "This is sunscreen." He then eats a piece of it, looks intensely at the camera, and applies it to his nose. He concludes by stating the principle, "If you can't eat what you put on your skin, then don't use it at all," while dramatic music plays over scenic shots of him in a natural landscape.
