Benzene – a human carcinogen found in sunscreen! What now? | Ask Doctor Anne

The cancer-causing chemical Benzene was found in many different sunscreens – that was the headline that made my DMs explode when I was on a supposedly chilled family hiking vacation in Bavaria.

Did I still apply sunscreen like I used to? Of course I did! Does that mean I don’t think it is an issue? No,…

What are the best sunscreens for sensitive or acne-prone skin – Chemical or physical? Ask Doctor Anne

Sunscreen – All you need to know
