"Healthy tan is an oxymoron," a dermatologist once said. The skin is telling you it's being damaged by ultraviolet rays. That damage related to mutations in the DNA is what is thought to lead to skin cancer. Nothing exists to reverse the DNA mutations that lead to skin cancer.Every time you step outside or get into your car, your skin is exposed to the sun's ultraviolet rays. Over time , these UVA or UVB rays significantly increase the risk of cancer and hasten the signs of aging skin, such as wrinkling, sagging and discoloration.
Even people who avoid sun bathing or cover up at the beach don't think about wearing sunscreen or protective clothing every day.
What you're wearing makes a difference, too. Tightly woven fabrics offer the best resistance. A light T-shirt, on the other hand, offers little protection, about the equivalent of a sunscreen with a protection factor of SPF 5.
Curing skin cancer has a lot to do with how early you catch it. Prevention is always the best course!
