Health Care Tips : Along with health, it is essential to take care of your skin. Most people include sunscreen in their daily routine for healthy skin. Be it summer or winter, sunscreen is used to protect the skin. But did you know that constant use of sunscreen can cause vitamin D deficiency in the body?

 

Some people believe that wearing sunscreen reduces vitamin D in the body. Some researches have been done in this regard in the past as well. According to a Harvard report, sunscreen protects the skin from UV rays. This means that using sunscreen reduces vitamin D levels.




What do the experts say?
Experts say it's a bit difficult to talk about vitamin depletion from sunscreen. Because sunscreen protects the skin. But it is important to think about the possible effects on vitamin D levels.

Most people believe that sunscreen with higher SPF blocks vitamin D. Therefore, sunscreen should be used properly. (Health Care Tips)

 

Effects of UV Rays
UV rays affect the skin even with the use of sunscreen. But some people do not use sunscreen properly. Experts say that sunscreen should be applied every two hours. Apart from this, if there is deficiency of vitamin D in the body, one should stand in the sun for two or three times a week.
