Sunscreen Causes Aging?!!!
  • I know im supposed to wear moisturizer w/ SPF daily to protect against
    skin damage(wrinkle,spots,etc.),but i read that a chemical in sunscreen
    causes free radicals which cause skin damage.Whats do i do?
  • Here is an article that addresses a similar concern - do sunscreens (or certain ingredients in them) cause skin cancer?


    Maybe you will find it helpful.
  • While researchers are looking into the possibility that some sunscreens cause free radical damage, they agree that in the meantime the best thing you can do for your skin is to keep wearing sunscreen. See this article for an example: http://thebeautybrains.com/2012/05/16/sunscreen-danger-or-irresponsible-beauty-science-reporting/
  • @ Right Brain - I knew I had read a Beauty Brains post on this, but I couldn't find it. (bookmarking it now... - thanks!)
