Are Sunscreens Completely Safe For Your Health?

There is the culture of people using sunscreens with the notion of being secure or protected from the sun. Research has shown that putting on high-factor sunscreens is in reality a false security and can put the health at risk of skin cancer. This is because when you spend longer time in the sun, you absorb more radiation which poses a problem to the health. It is observed that those using 30 sunscreen spend 25 percent more time in the sun than those using factor 10. The protective effect of sunscreen use against skin cancer particularly melanoma, has not been demonstrated in the general population, but there are compelling data that show a strong relationship between duration of recreational sun exposure and skin cancer. Health professionals are now warning against prolong exposure to the sun regardless of the level of protection a sunscreen gives. So the advice is "don't stop using sunscreen, but do remember you shouldn't use them so that you can sunbathe longer" as this may have an advance effect on your health
