Who is at Skin Cancer Risk?
Everyone is susceptible to skin cancer.
People with red or blonde hair, blue or light-colored eyes, and fair skin that freckles or burns easily are at greater risk. Occupation, lifestyle, and family history also contributes to the risk factor, as does geographic location. People who live near the equator, or in higher altitudes are exposed to higher levels of UVR.
Sun Damage is cumulative. 10 minutes per day adds up.....
Exposing your skin to UVR for only 10 minutes a day for one year is equivalent to
sunbathing for 60 hours straight. |
