Sun Exposure and Repeated Sunburns
I want to save others from the heartbreak of loosing someone to skin cancer like I did with the loss of my sister. This is in response to an earlier post about someone not wanting to use sunscreen while outside.
Let me state that I was the last person on earth to wear suntan lotion. I was always going for the nice looking tan. I tan very easily, and it stays with me thru the fall. In fact, I get complimented on it by doctors. Not any longer.
Suntaning is great, but I do believe now in lathering up with suntan lotion. So many different cancers are now coming out, and just don't have cures. Sure there are clinical trials with experimental drugs and trials. But people still die.
With sun exposure and repeated sunburns - this speeds up the aging of your skin. Listed below is what happens:
- skin gets thinner
- deep wrinkles
- dry skin
- fine red veins that show up on your face esp. your nose, cheeks, and ears
- freckles
- liver spots
- skin cancer (mild to melanoma)
- cataracts in your eyes (wear sunglasses while driving, boating, on the beach, and just being outside in general)
*also now there is lotions and makeups being made with sunscreen in them that I strongly would recommend using
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
Best regards,
Andrew
