I wear sunscreen. But when my friends and I went to to the beach they started just slathering it on their skin. Putting on just wayyy too much. When I asked them why, one of my friends said it's because it minimizes tanning.

Is that true?

Hi strawberry,
More importantly, it acts as a protection against the suns harmful rays, that can cause skin cancer.
