From MSNBC: ...new research has found that wearing sunscreen continuously can reduce the amount of vitamin D a person is able to make. It appears recent scientific research and findings are answering my question. not what you need because you can make it with some exposure, and even with sun screen some sun rays get through. but if you were covered up all the time, and didn't get out much then maybe. even so you can get vitamin D in milk and you can take suppliments
Sunscreen is designed to reduce the amount of UV light that gets to the skin, and the same UV light is required to make vitamin D in the skin. While dietary change and supplements are an option, it is best to avoid using sunscreens when they are not needed (for example short-term sun exposure, during the winter or in mornings and evenings).
