Sun safety myth busted! ☀️ Sunscreen does NOT cause cancer. Spending time in the sun exposes you to harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, which are a major risk factor for skin cancer. Sunscreen acts as a shield, protecting your skin from these damaging rays. While some sunscreen ingredients may show up in your bloodstream in small amounts, there’s no evidence they cause cancer. In fact, the benefits of sunscreen far outweigh any potential risks. Don’t let myths keep you from protecting your skin! Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day, even on cloudy days. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more often if swimming or sweating. Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 am - 4 pm). Stay safe, stay sun smart! #sunscreen #sunsafety #skincancerawareness #mythbusters #protectyourskin #claradermatology
