Russia’s top military commander, General Valery Gerasimov, has declared that Russian forces are conducting a non-stop offensive along nearly the entire front line in Ukraine, asserting that the “strategic initiative” now lies with Moscow.

The Dangerous Rise of Anti-Sunscreen Myths: Experts Urge Vigilance

 

As summer heats up, so does a troubling trend: the spread of anti-sunscreen misinformation across social media platforms. Influencers and self-proclaimed wellness gurus are increasingly promoting the idea that sunscreen is harmful or unnecessary—claims that dermatologists and skin cancer advocates say are not only false but potentially deadly.

“Sunscreen is one of the most effective tools we have to prevent skin cancer,” says Dr. Emily Hart, a dermatologist and spokesperson for the Skin Cancer Foundation. “The idea that it’s toxic or that natural sun exposure is always safe is not supported by science.”

Skin cancer remains the most common cancer in North America, with melanoma rates steadily rising. Experts warn that skipping sunscreen can lead to cumulative sun damage, premature aging, and increased cancer risk. While some online voices claim that ingredients in sunscreen are unsafe, major health organizations—including the American Academy of Dermatology and Health Canada—continue to endorse broad-spectrum SPF as safe and essential.

Advocates urge the public to rely on peer-reviewed research and consult medical professionals rather than viral posts. “We’re fighting misinformation with education,” says Hart. “Protecting your skin is not a trend—it’s a lifelong commitment.”

 So next time you head outdoors, don’t forget your sunscreen. Your skin—and your future self—will thank you.
