But I'm here today to help you stay protected from the sun by telling you what you need to know about sunscreen.
There has been a lot of misinformation on sunscreen recently.
I've seen videos on TikTok saying that sunscreen is harmful or unnecessary.
And a lot of people are believing these, especially young people.

By the way, neither of those statements are true, and doctors are concerned about the spread of misinformation like that.
