But, as you know, to every uphill, there’s a downhill. The big issues with sun is that it gives off two different types of Ultraviolet (UV) rays. Both types of rays have photons and photons when released to the skin can cause free radicals which cause chemical reactions in nearby cells. This could easily cause you cancer and affect your DNA.

What happens is that in the sunscreen, there are non-organic chemicals and organic chemicals. The non-organic chemicals are things such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide which deflect of the sun’s light and send it scattering. Also there are some organic carbon based chemicals that absorb in the UV radiation that isn’t reflected from the sun so that therefore, your skin will not have to absorb
