I'm an idiot

gemfyreI'm going to die of skin cancer.
Why can't they invent a sunscreen that
- is easy to apply (none of this "so many spoonfulls per inch of skin, spread in a layer, don't rub in, apply 30 minutes before going into the sun").
- isn't slimy.
- doesn't smell funny.
- doesn't irritate my skin.
- doesn't sting my eyes?
Then I'd be more studious about applying it.
I mean, I know it's irrational. The inconvience of cancer far outweighs the inconvenience of applying sunscreen. But I always think to myself, "Oh I can just take a cold shower and put aloe on it." (Which is a lot more pleasant to apply). I also often don't know half an hour beforehand if I'm gonna be in the sun.
