    Also remember to have a friend or family check areas that you cannot see. I had a mole on the back of my neck that I didn't know until someone pointed it out. I went to the doctor and thankfully it was ok

    just dont go to tanning beds! Those things are horrible, make your skin feel on fire, make you breakout like crazy 5 days later (for some), and increase you odds of skin cancer (obviously). go all natural! or attract the superficial crowd..... ughh

    Thank You so much for who ever posted this article. It was very helpful. Now I know that my sunscreen has to be more than SPF 15.

    Quality auto window film can keep 99% of harmful UVA and UVB off of you when you are driving (how much time do you spend in your car?) A Llumar window film dealer also has a front door film that is 50 state legal that stops UV. In So Calif call or web link to A Terrific Tint Inc.
