A member asked:
What are the side effects of using sunscreen on your face everyday?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Depends on formulati: Some have been minimally accused of being carcinogenic but the cancer risk in not using it is greater. Allergy and eye irritation are all else i can think of.

Very few: As long as you are not sensitive to the ingredients, this would generally be considered a good habit.
