Sunscreen Can Increase Skin Cancer Risk!

Posted by admin On September - 8 - 2011

According to a new study some sunscreen may increase the risk of skin cancer cells. It seems unbelievable but true sunscreens are not good for your skin. The main issue is vitamin A; almost all the sunscreen makers use this in their products because of its anti-aging properties. This vitamin A is also responsible for increasing the growth of cancer cells when combined with sunlight.

This study was conducted by EWG and tested 500 most popular sunscreens but only 39 passed the test. EWG also suggested that people should use lotions instead of sprays or powders as lotions are better protectors in blocking UVA and UVB rays.

They recommend cover yourself with hats and clothing while going out. You can apply sunscreen but make sure you are using it in proper amount and about 20-25 minutes before you go outside.
