Problems caused by overuse of sunscreen

Although sunscreen has become an essential item these days, there are reportedly side effects from overuse.

I know I can't just not use it, but I'm writing this down because I think it's good to know.

It is said that prolonged exposure to the skin of benzene or oxide-based chemicals used in sunscreens can cause cancer.

It is said that it can cause mutations in DNA, the genetic material within cells, so caution is needed, especially for infants and growing children; therefore, you should carefully check the ingredients of sunscreen.

It is also said that it can cause infertility by reducing sperm motility and the ability of eggs to fertilize.

It is said to damage skin cells and generate harmful free radicals.

In the case of spray products, particles smaller than ultrafine dust are atomized and can enter the lungs, causing respiratory diseases.

Please refer to the information above. When purchasing sunscreen, choose products with mild ingredients and avoid spray products to ensure better UV protection.
