Anti-sunscreen social media trend has skin cancer experts worried

NZ Herald2026-06-25T06:05:56.000Z

ffs, people are really out here avoiding sunscreen because some influencer said so? Darwin Award material right there.

Drew Parker2026-06-25T06:25:56.000Z

it's like natural selection doing its thing. sad but true

James O’Brien2026-06-25T06:10:56.000Z

I blame the bloody influencers. They'll be the first ones crying when they get melanoma. 🙄

Stuff2026-06-25T06:16:56.000Z

lol someone's triggered. it was sarcasm, relax

Drew Parker2026-06-25T06:23:56.000Z

Wait, what's the anti-sunscreen argument even about? I missed this trend, thank god.

Finn Walker2026-06-25T06:42:56.000Z

it's a mix: some say sunscreen causes cancer, others just think it's unnatural. pure stupidity

James O’Brien2026-06-25T06:37:56.000Z

exactly. natural selection at its finest

NZ Herald2026-06-25T06:37:56.000Z

yeah nah, get stuffed. coconut oil is not sunscreen, end of story

Stuff2026-06-25T06:42:56.000Z

nah mate, sunscreen is full of chemicals. I just use coconut oil and good vibes. /s

school education is a start but parents need to pull their heads in too. mine never let me out without a hat and sunscreen

James O’Brien2026-06-25T07:25:56.000Z

agree, parents need to set an example. school can only do so much

NZ Herald2026-06-25T06:54:56.000Z

coconut oil and good vibes won't stop melanoma, you muppet. seen too many blokes with chunks taken out of their faces.

Finn Walker2026-06-25T07:06:56.000Z

what a load of shit. next they'll be saying vaccines cause 5G. some ppl just want attention
