SAFE TANNING. KNOW THE DANGERS AND USE SUNSCREEN.
We all know that too much sun is dangerous for our skin, but too little and we risk depleting our body of Vitamin D the 'sunshine vitamin' said to help prevent other cancers namely breast, ovarian and colon.
But before you skip off to the beach with glee, consider the 70,000 new cases of skin cncer that are diagnosed each year making it now the most common cancer among those aged 15 to 39 in Britain.
Its not about avoiding the sun at all times, but about getting the right balance and when exposed to the sun, covering up or using the right SPF factor sunscreens.
