There's a movement spreading across social media telling millions of people to stop wearing sunscreen.⁠
⁠
It's not fringe anymore. It has mainstream platforms, influencers, Wikipedia pages — and it's convinced a significant number of people (especially younger people) that the bottle in their cabinet is more dangerous than the sun itself.⁠
⁠
I'm a board-certified dermatologist. I see the fallout from this movement in my exam room every single week.⁠
⁠
So let me walk you through the 5 biggest anti-sunscreen myths — and tell you exactly why the science does not support them.⁠
⁠
This isn't about blind trust in "the industry." This is about UV radiation, DNA damage, and the most common cancer in the United States.⁠
⁠
One in seven Americans under 35 now believes wearing sunscreen daily is more harmful than going without it.⁠
⁠
That's not skepticism. That's misinformation — and it's going to cost people their lives.⁠
⁠
Swipe through. Save this. Send it to someone who needs to see it.⁠
And please — wear your sunscreen.⁠
