Are Sunscreens Dangerous or is it HYPE?

Sunscreens have always been surrounded by debate, from the tanning crazes of the last century to today’s “clean beauty” trends. In this video, I dig into the myths and realities of sun care: why suncreams raise questions on stability and safety, how the UV index can guide when you need protection, and why modern trends may be more toxic than they appear. If you’ve ever felt caught between “avoid chemicals” and “avoid sunburn,” this video will put everything into perspective.
