As we head outdoors in the sunny summer months it is important to protect ourselves from the harmful rays of the sun.
One of the Most Important Reasons to Use Sunscreen is to Prevent the Occurrence of Skin Cancer.
Skin cancer incidence is increasing and there are over 3.5 million new cases each year. More common types of skin cancer are basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. These skin cancers can occur in all ethnic backgrounds, however, they are more common in persons of lighter skin color. There are other reasons for skin cancers to develop, including viruses, carcinogens, and genetic cancer syndromes.
