Facts about Sunscreen

https://www.fda.gov/news-events/rumor-control/facts-about-sunscreen?utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery Fact: People of all skin colors are at risk for skin cancer, skin aging, and sunburn from spending time in the sun. More Information: Sun exposure can cause sunburn, skin aging (such as skin spots, wrinkles, or “leathery skin”), and skin cancer. This is true for people of all skin colors, and not just people with very light-colored skin. Sunscreens help protect people from sunburn and, for broad spectrum products with an SPF of at least 15, decrease the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun when used as directed with other sun protection measures. Bottom Line: Spending time in the sun increases your risk of skin cancer and early skin aging, no matter your skin color.
