According to The American Cancer Society, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million cases in two million people are diagnosed annually.
The good news is that skin cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer. The number one prevention strategy for avoiding skin cancer is avoiding harmful UV rays from the sun. The depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere over the last few decades is making time in the sun a matter of life or death. In spite of this, people of all ages view themselves as bullet proof with regards to the sun. Everyone can become victim to skin cancer and premature aging.
“Regular use of sun block is essential no matter what your skin type. Also, using sun block properly is important,” says TV’s Dr. Andrew Ordon. “The most common and incorrect way to use sun block is by applying it once and forgetting about it. If you sweat or swim and rub it off, sunscreen absolutely needs to be re-applied.”
Paula Begoun, author of Don’t Go to the Beauty Counter Without Me and The Original Beauty Bible says, “A well formulated sun block rated SPF 15 or greater is a daily must. To avoid as much sun damage as possible, make sure any sunscreen you’re considering contains one or more of these active ingredients: titanium dioxide, zinc oxide, avobenzone, ecamsule (Mexoryl SX) or, outside the U.S., Tinosorb.
