How do you go swimming with a visor on? Plus it doesn't protect your whole face.
Some people are okay with lines and some people aren't, like everything else in
life. Do you say to people who fly on a plane, "if it's worth it to you to
breathe in that toxic air and walk through the xray machine and be exposed to
flourescent lights, then by all means do what you feel you need to do." It's
just odd to be concerned so much over one thing when there are a million things
out there to make us sick. I just find that strangely fascinating.
