                                According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, daily use of sunscreen has been shown to reduce the chances of developing squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. This fact counters a common misconception that wearing SPF entirely blocks the body's ability to produce vitamin D, leading many to question if it's possible to maintain adequate levels of the 'sunshine vitamin' while staying protected.
