answer:We hear more about skin cancer due to sun exposure more than we hear about sunblock being the reason one gets cancer. I personally would be worried about the sun more than the sunblock. Look at what the sun does to other things. Fading material, damaging cars and a lot more. As long as you use something with UVA and UVB protection you should be protected. I am fair skin and use a lotion with both UVA and UVB protection daily. Fair skin tends to burn too, so I would protect your skin as much as you can.
