I read that sunscreen can actually cause skin cancer, not prevent it. My dermotologist says that my skin cancer is probably a result of over-exposure to the sun from childhood. I do recall that the summer months ended with me always suffering from sun poison. There weren't any sunscreen products when I was growing up, and our parents thought that being out in the sun for hours on end was good for us. I'm still not convinced that using sunscreen is any safer, so I just avoid direct sunlight as much as possible. My skin doc gave me a catalog for a line of sunscreened clothing...think I'll pass.
