So I just started 40mg of accutane yesterday and I know this is irrelevant, but I have never burned in the sun, ever. I just tan- like brown tan. I honestly end up looking like another ethnicity because I turn so brown so I've always been very good with sunscreen so I know that being outside won't be a problem for me because I'm used to reapplying and all that.

But Im just curious as to wearing sunscreen at home.

My desk is right next to a window and I was wondering if I need to wear sunscreen inside and because my window faces north, my room is never in direct sunlight, but I still get sun in my room (obviously) so I was just wondering if I sit by my window, will I need to apply sunscreen? Because I don't want to have to put on sunscreen if I don't have to at home bc that's kind of a waste of sunscreen imo and I'm lazy.

Thanks!

Yeap! Just get in the habit of putting it on every morning. You would be surprised how sensitive to the sun accutane makes you. I don't usually burn easily either, but while I was on accutane I went out without sunscreen ONCE ona sunny day and I got a sunburn walking from my car to my office building.
