One in five people will eventually develop skin cancer. That’s a startling statistic when you realize this includes over 2,500 UW-L students. But, with shows like Jersey Shore that promote incredibly dark skin, it’s hard not to look in the mirror and feel a little pasty. However, the risks lie not only with the sun exposure, but also with your local tanning salon.
So, how do we even tan? What goes on between the sun’s rays and our skin? UVA and UVB rays that come from the sun damage the DNA of our skin’s epidermal cells. Enzymes then immediately start to repair the damage that has occurred which causes the dark skin pigmentation. The remaining cells that couldn't be repaired can cause mutations in our skin, which increases our chances of developing skin cancer.
When scientists first starting looking into the causes of skin cancer, they believed UVB rays were the only cancer-causing rays. However, scientists have recently discovered that UVA rays (the rays used in tanning beds) can cause more genetic damage to the skin cells.

Katie Rodan and Kathy Fields have written an entire book about skincare titled, Write Your Skin A Prescription for Change. Not only am I an avid reader of fiction but I love to settle in with an informative book about helping myself , whether it be about a positive attitude, health, fitness, or skincare. As you might have guessed, this is a book about skincare! Chock full of information, the book contains chapters on topics such as Hormones, Pregnancy, Sun, Sensitive Skin, Treatments, Lines & Wrinkles and more. There are tips galore plus quotes from the doctors, quizzes to analyze your skin. The information is presented in a very easy to understand format. My particular favorites are the information about sun damage and the latest peptide technology for anti-aging.

Be careful of just any kind of skin lightening creams!

NEW YORK, Jan. 16 (UPI) -- Skin-lightening creams can mean severe side effects for people who misuse them or buy counterfeit products, U.S. dermatologists
said.

People of African and Hispanic descent, among others, obtain the creams from dermatologists or buy them over-the-counter in beauty shops, ethnic groceries and online, The New York Times reported Saturday.

The creams, with names like Hyprogel and Fair & White, can cause acne when misused and weaken skin, dermatologists said. Mercury, which can damage the nervous system, has been found in counterfeit products.

There is a strong demand for the creams, said dermatologist Erin Gilbert of the Downstate Medical Center in New York's Brooklyn borough. Gilbert said she and her colleagues see cases of severe side effects from the creams each week.

Many users believe lighter skin will elevate their standing in society, said Evelyn Nakano Glenn, who teachers gender studies at the University of California-Berkeley.

"It's not some fantasy," Glenn said. "There is prejudice against dark-skinned people, especially women in the so-called marriage market."
