Misinformation about #sunscreen is spreading online — and dermatologists are sounding the alarm.

Here's what science actually says:

✅ Routine sunscreen use has NOT been shown to cause vitamin D deficiency

✅ SPF 15+ broad spectrum sunscreens, when used as directed with other sun protection measures, decreases the risk of skin cancer and early skin aging caused by the sun

✅Use sunscreen as part of a complete sun safety routine:
🧢 Wear hats, sunglasses & protective clothing
🕙 Limit sun exposure between 10 a.m.–2 p.m.
🔄 Reapply sunscreen every 2 hours (more if swimming or sweating)
