Skin Cancer Is The Most Common Cancer In Ireland - Here's Why Skin Cancer Is The Most Common Cancer In Ireland - Here's Why
Hands up who wears SPF every day? I’m a self-confessed SPF fanatic, and I’m hoping that my skin and my health will thank me for it.
But what about all the essential Vitamin D, and that gorgeous sun-kissed look that many of us long for? It turns out, as you may have known, that there is literally only one safe way to achieve a beautifully bronzed glow, and that’s from a bottle. When I was younger, wearing sun protection was something that you’d get, for lack of a better word, slagged for. Sure why wouldn’t you want a gorgeous tan? Mothers would slather their children in SPF, ignoring their wails and complaints, but once we got to a certain age, it was almost cool to lounge sans protection and opt for baby oil instead.
The partially good news is that it’s easy to spot skin cancer in its early stages. Whether you’ve been a fan of sunbeds in the past, or haven’t been overly diligent about sun protection, it’s worth knowing what your skin looks like ‘normally’ so that you can easily identify anything that seems abnormal. If you’re unsure about what to look out for when it comes to skin cancer, particularly if like many people your skin is dotted with moles, Dr Laura has broken it down into layman’s terms.
