Yes because when the ozone layer gets ruined and it causes more sunlight and UV rays to hit the surface of the earth, so if you are out in the sun it causes you to have more light and UV rays that will effect your skin especially if you are not wearing sunscreen. Over a period of time if you are still in the sun there is a possibility that you will get skin cancer due to the higher UV levels and sunlight
