The perceived health benefits of indoor tanning may be encouraging some unhealthy practices. One particularly dangerous practice is using a tanning bed to get a base tan. Many people mistakenly believe that this is a healthy way to prevent sunburn and reduce their risk of skin cancer. Relying on tanning beds to get vitamin D [...]

Actinic keratoses (aka solar keratoses) are small, rough or scaly patches of skin that are mainly caused by sun exposure. It is estimated that about 1 in 20 of these precancerous lesions turn into a type of skin cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which is generally not serious if treated early.
 
 
Start incorporating some basic sun [...]

 Before summer heats up, protect yourself with skin-cancer prevention strategies-no matter what your age.

20s
Apply SPF 15 or 30 sunscreen everyday. Women in their 20s or more likely than older women to get sunburn, according to one study. Just 5 severe burns doubles the risk of melanoma (the second most common cancer in 20 somethings).

Research shows that [...]

Some places on the earth experience stronger ultraviolet radiation. If you’re traveling near the equator or at high altitudes, your risk of sunburn increases significantly. It’s always best to try to avoid excessive sun exposure between the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. - this is when UV rays are the strongest.
 
Apply a [...]

The most common cause of actinic keratoses (pre-cancerous lesions that usually start to appear on fair-skinned people in their 50s) is sun exposure. Those who have worked outdoors or spent a significant amount of time engaging in outdoor recreational pursuits - such as sailing, golfing or skiing - are at greater risk of developing these [...]

Contrary to popular belief, sunbeds are not a safer way to tan. Sunbeds emit UVA radiation, which causes tanning and aging of the skin. If you’re using a sunbed, you’re accelerating the aging process of your skin and increasing your risk of developing skin cancer.
 
UVA radiation actually penetrates the top layer of the skin, but [...]

Why use sunscreen? In a word: prevention. Sunscreens prevent sunburns, photodamaged skin (such as brown spots or wrinkles), actinic keratosis and perhaps squamous cell and other skin cancers. Use a moisturizer with sunscreen already in it to simplify things and get protection everyday.

It would be best, but impractical, to avoid the sun altogether. Short of this, one needs to be aware of sun exposure. You can’t play golf in the shade but you don’t have to sit in direct sun during lunch. It is also worth noting that most sun damage occurs incidentally to and from work, [...]

Although exercise is vital to maintaining your health and skin, it won’t change the structure of your skin as you age. The look of your skin is determined mostly by genetics and the accumulation of sun damage over the years.
 
You can’t control how your genes express themselves, but you can modify your attitude towards sun [...]

Actinic keratoses are lesions caused by the sun and occur on body areas that have been exposed to sunlight. These growths are most commonly found on the face, hands, forearms and V of the neck, and occur more frequently among pale-skinned, fair-haired, light-eyed individuals.
Actinic keratoses are pre-cancerous, which means they may become skin cancers. Any [...]

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently proposed a new regulation that sets standards for formulating, testing and labeling over-the-counter (OTC) sunscreen drug products with ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) protection.  
 

Because sunlight is composed of both UVA and UVB rays, the organization proposes the creation of a consumer-friendly rating system for UVA products [...]

We all know that too much sun can be dangerous. But, there are plenty of myths when it comes to proper protection.

Doctors are seeing skin cancer, itching, redness, and skin dryness in users of tanning equipment – even in those who have attended only a [...]

Be Careful Out There

Just when you thought you knew how to protect yourself against the sun with proper sun protection and skin care, scientific studies prove that, once again, no one is completely safe.
