Lotus Leaves vs. Sunscreen: Viral Trend's Health Risks Revealed

Some people in China are using lotus leaves to protect their skin from the sun, like sunscreen.

This trend went viral online.

However, doctors say this isn't a good idea.

Lotus leaves might feel cool, but they don't protect against the sun's harmful rays like real sunscreen does.

Sunscreen has special ingredients to block these rays.

Using lotus leaves could cause sunburn, make your skin age faster, or even increase the chance of skin cancer.

It's best to stick to sunscreen to keep your skin safe.
