Should I apply sunscreen while sunbathing?

Do not apply any sunscreen. It is one of the most toxic things you could apply to your skin. Years of advertising by the cosmetic industry have conditioned us into thinking that sunlight is harmful. As a result, we tend to avoid exposure to the sun, and when we do go out we apply sunscreen. The industry wins in selling their product and we lose out on our biological need, sunlight.

Sunscreen contains numerous dangerous chemicals that eventually end up being absorbed into our bodies through our skin.  

According to the Journal of the American Medical Association, sunscreen could potentially be dangerous. Sunscreen ingredients can travel through the skin and build up in the bloodstream. This finding has raised concerns about how sunscreen can affect our reproductive and developmental health and can also cause cancer.
