Sun Exposure for Skin Health
- Expose your skin to the sun; it needs it.
- If shy about facial exposure, start with other body parts and gradually work your way up.
Sunscreen Concerns
- Sunscreen blocks UVB rays, which produce vitamin D, while still allowing potentially damaging UVA rays through.
- A Cochrane review linked increased sunscreen use to higher chances of moles, freckles, and skin cancers.
Melanoma Risk Factors
- Studies show increased melanoma risk correlates with more artificial light exposure and less outdoor time.
- Living farther from the equator also increases risk.
