I'm curious as to what is the side effect of using sunscreen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cancer prevention : There aren't down sides of using sunscreen. Only cancer prevention. Occasionally, a person could have sensitivity to some of the inactive ingredients in the product, and that could cause local skin irritation. If that's the case, try a fragrance free brand. If you're going to be outdoors more than a few minutes a day, protect yourself from skin cancer....
