Sunscreen actually seeps into pores. When it degrades into reactive oxygen species free radicals after a few hours in the light, it can harm subcutaneous tissue.
The cosmetic industry has an awful lot of people duped into buying products they do not really need. Wear it if it makes you feel better about yourself, wear it if it makes you feel luxuriant, pampered, or fabulous. As long as it isn't causing acne or whiteheads or starting wars among people, go for it, its a personal choice-but not a true necessity. If you are young and healthy, chances are you are making all the oil you need. (I'm 45, and I have soft, moist skin that doesn't require a moisturizer. ) Moisturizer feels nice, but it won't prevent wrinkles. If you are dry skinned, wear one, if you are normal-its just one more product.
