Sun screen is beneficial to your skin. It protects it against the harmful effects of the sun’s rays. However, if you have not used it for a long period or it is past its expiration date, then you might want to consider throwing it away. One reason is that it can become toxic. If that happens, instead of protecting you, it can cause cancer.
Why is the Sun Screen Dangerous?
Over time, the chemicals in this product can break down. It can produce benzophenone. It is a compound known to cause liver and skin cancer. That’s why many scientists want chemical sunscreen to be banned. Benzophenone can induce dermatitis, which leads to cancer. It affects thyroid function and disrupts your reproductive organs.
Should You Be Worried?
You should not worry about the sunscreen in your medicine cabinet. However, if it is expired, it is best to just toss it in the trash. Or you can purchase a product that contains only natural ingredients that are known to be safe on the skin and effective in protecting the skin from the sun’s rays.
