    Good point, and absolutely that’s a possibility, but AFAIK it was worst in the 80 or early 90’s, with huge holes in the ozone layer at the poles.
    This improved when certain gasses that are harmful to the ozone layer became regulated globally. But it may have slowly deteriorated again, I’m not quite sure of the current state.
    But at least now weather reports include warnings against days with particularly high UV numbers.
    But still it is my clear impression that sunscreen makes some people stay out in the sun before they have a tan to protect against it, and instead use sunscreen to stay in the sun longer.
    But tanning-beds could also be part of the reason.

    Of course this may not not be the case for “normal” use, but with excessive use tanning beds are harmful, and you may not be as protected by sunscreen as some people think.
