In a sick twist of fate, sunscreen may cause extra damage to skin. - VGF

Sunscreens contain UV filters that block radiation from penetrating below the outer skin later, called the epidermis.

But over time, the filters themselves penetrate deeper into the skin, allowing more UV radiation in.

Then things get worse.

So what if we don't put any on at all? Are we better off?

Read the article. When used properly, sunscreen is helpful.
