Have you heard these #sunscreen myths?
“You only need sunscreen for the beach.”
“Dark skin or a base #tan is a natural #SPF.”
“Sunscreens have tons of chemicals in them – they’re worse for you than getting a sunburn.”
No one wants wrinkles, #sunburn or increased risk of developing skin cancer. But with thousands of types of sunscreen and nearly as many myths about how to stay safe, questions abound.
Luckily, next week sunscreen expert and #Dermatologist, Benjamin N. Lockshin, MD, FAAD, will answer your questions on sun safety just in time for the official start of summer.
