No matter how enjoyable it is to be outdoors – summer, winter, spring or fall – your skin is under constant bombardment from the ultraviolet rays of the sun and these rays age your skin, cause wrinkles, age spots and unfortunately may even cause skin cancer (melanoma).
Winter sun can be as damaging as summer sun – so now is a good time to brush up on skin cancer facts and prevention – before you head off for those snowy, ski-packed hills!
A Gentle Reminder: It is critical as you age, to have your skin checked – all of it – at least once a year for any changes or abnormalities and to have any pre-cancerous lesions treated. Any new, changed or otherwise suspicious growths should be examined.
