Listener Q&A: The Problem With Sunscreen (& What To Do About It)...55:15

Alex asks: There are a lot of claims from the sunscreen industry about its ability to reduce or remove the risk of skin cancer. From what I've seen, the rates of skin cancer have increased, as has the use of sunscreen. What are your thoughts on that, and what are some of your strategies in regards to using sunscreen?

In my response, I recommend:

In my response, I recommend:
