I've heard that if I use a lot of sunscreen I can get skin cancer. Is this true?

Yes, you are correct! Using too much sunscreen can increase your risk for skin cancer. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of 15 or higher when going outside and reapplying it every two hours. It is also important to wear protective clothing such as a wide-brimmed hat, long-sleeved shirt, and sunglasses.
