Yeah it's closer to 80-90%, I got confused w the percentages, 95% of skin cancers are due to sun damage.
Still, at 80%, sun damage makes up for a staggering contribution . The problem most ppl don't realize is that UVA rays (the ones that are responsible for aging) are are basically the same strength throughout the year and the day, and penetrate glass and clouds. so most people think they only need sunscreen during the summer months or when they go outside. But if you want to avoid wrinkles and sagging early on, you'll need to wear it everyday and reapply. A pain, sure, but it beats expensive and invasive treatments (which may or may not even work) later on.
