Dermatologists are concerned about the increasing number of people not using sunscreen while sitting or lying in the sun. There have been rumors for some time, especially on social networks, that sunscreen is bad for your health and even carcinogenic.
It really is best to use sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. “There is no evidence that sunscreen is carcinogenic if you apply it to your skin, unless you regularly drink a bottle of sunscreen,” dermatologist Marlies Wakkee of Erasmus MC told NOS Radio 1 Journaal. Despite the “overwhelming evidence” that being conscious in the sun is “the most important thing you can do to prevent skin cancer”. This also includes rubbing yourself regularly.

Wakkee says the risk of not applying the cream is much higher. With the first combustion as a visible result. Monitoring of skin aging and long-term risk of skin cancer.
In the Netherlands, 70,000 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every year. It is one of the most common cancers. 1 in 6 Dutch people develop skin cancer. The main reason for this is too much sun exposure.
