Mrs Johns' hairdresser is a red head and very light skinned. She refuses to use sunscreen even though she spends a lot of time outside. Mrs says she is starting to look like a bbq potato chip, lots of sun damage. They were discussing this while Mrs J was in the chair and one of the other customers said sun screen causes cancer and the hairdresser said that's why she doesn't use it.
I'm sure that misinformation came from the story a few years back where certain brands of sunscreen were found to have benzine in them.
