They may allege that sunscreen, in combination with other basic sun protection behaviors, can help reduce the risk of skin cancer. But they can\u2019t say that their product alone will prevent skin cancer. In fact, most studies show that sunscreen users have higher rates of skin cancer \u2014 correlations that have no clear explanation, but which have been pretty-much denied by the sunscreen industry.<\/p>\n<p>Smart Tan encourages salons to teach consumers to use SPF products only when sunburn is possible \u2014 which is, in fact, the only true intended use of the product. Doing so, the sunbed industry teaches sunscreen usage better than the product\u2019s manufacturers themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBecause the Skin Cancer Foundation was created by and is funded by the manufacturers of sunscreen products, telling people to over-use the product is financially motivated. But it is not scientifically valid advice,\u201d Smart Tan Executive Director Joseph Levy said. \u201cOver-using a chemical product to that extent does not make sense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>SmartTan.com news articles regularly report medical and scientific information to keep you abreast of current events related to UV light.
