The sun does not cause skin cancer
You don’t want to burn your skin by any means.

When you wear Sunscreen, you eliminate the UVB rays which tan you, while absorbing UVA rays

This means you don’t ‘burn’ which is usually the signal for you to get out of the sun.
If you’re using sunscreen that blocks both UVA + UVB, Then you think you are safe - but then you are spending time on the sun yet still becoming vitamin D deficient,

Vitamin d deficiency increases all cancer risk, along with a myriad of other health risks
Why do the countries that arguably get some of the least sun also have the highest rates of skin cancer?

Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Finland, Scotland

Lack of vit d increases risk of cancer
Many of the chemicals in sunscreens are deemed carcinogens that - if a company tried to put in our food they would rightly not be allowed to

But put them in sunscreen, which then is applied to the skin and absorbed that way into the body? That’s A-Okay!
Better put some more sunscreen on, I’ve absorbed the rest!

All those chemicals straight to the liver where it has to be broken down, straining your detox process.

Daily application can result in these chemicals accumulating in the connective tissue, causing cancer + issues
Additionally, when people use soap to clean the sunscreen off their skin , they are inadvertently removing what little vitamin d they might have produced from the skin as well!

Vitamin D stays on the skin for up to 48 hrs after skin exposure to the sun. So just rinse with water
Another risk factor is the prevalence of easily oxidised processed seed oils in our diet.

The higher our consumption of processed polyunsaturated fats (canola, soy, rapeseed, vegetable oil) becomes, the more it can oxidise in response to heat and burn our skin.
