Dream - Wearing sunscreen is a mandatory treatment for everyone to prevent sunburn or cancer due to excessive exposure to sunlight. Sunscreen itself functions to block UVA and UVB rays from reaching the surface of the skin, but is it true that the absorption of vitamin D will be disrupted because of its use? This is because sunlight exposure is one of the easiest sources of vitamin D to obtain.

Although the exposure to UVA and UVB rays is blocked by sunscreen, its use does not necessarily cause a deficiency in vitamin D. Usually, people who are advised to sunbathe under the sun are only recommended for a few minutes with a certain UV index so that the rays do not pose too much risk of damaging the skin.

Sahabat Dream can meet their daily intake of vitamin D by consuming supplements sold in the market. You can also consult with a doctor and have your vitamin D levels checked to determine the type of supplement needed.
