Is it safer to use sunscreen? i've seen things that it's actually worse.

sunscreen is safe: There has been rumors that sunscreen is not safe but they are not necessarily right. If you are nervous you can use a chemical free sunscreen that has titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. Sun protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses.
