Rather the harmful chemicals such cream could damage your skin and could make your skin complexion rough .

Myth 2: Using higher SPF is the only way to prevent skin damage- Most numbers of people look for a higher SPF like SPF 50 or more while buying a sunscreen lotion.

But this claim is absolutely wrong rather doing such exercise could make you have more pimples. There is no scientific evidence that has established this fact. This is completely a myth that thousands of people are following every day with the expectation of looking younger and believe that it will slow their aging process .
