Long gone are the days<br />
when it was cool to bake in<br />
the sun all weekend covered<br />
in baby oil, or to run to the<br />
tanning bed for an accelerated<br />
tan. Many conducted studies<br />
have proven that too much<br />
sun/UV ray exposure causes<br />
premature aging and skin<br />
cancer. Approximately one<br />
out of every three new cancers<br />
is diagnosed as skin cancer,<br />
and will affect more than one<br />
million Americans each year.<br />
Skin Cancer Facts<br />
The three main types of<br />
skin cancer are basal cell<br />
carcinoma, squamous cell<br />
carcinoma, and melanoma.<br />
Skin cancer is the overall most<br />
common type of cancer and<br />

Basal cell carcinoma is the<br />
most common type of cancer.<br />
These cancer cells are found<br />
in the deepest layer of the<br />
epidermis and are mainly<br />
found on areas of the body that<br />
are overly exposed to the sun<br />
including the face, neck, head,<br />
shoulders, and back.<br />
The second most common<br />
form of skin cancer is<br />
squamous cell carcinoma<br />
with nearly 250,000 new<br />
cases diagnosed each year.<br />
Squamous cell carcinoma is<br />
found in the upper layer of the<br />
epidermis. Again, this cancer<br />
can be found on any part of<br />
the body but is most common<br />

on areas overly exposed to the<br />
sun. Basal cell and squamous<br />
cell carcinomas can be life<br />
threatening if left untreated.<br />
Melanoma is the third and<br />
most serious form of skin<br />
cancer. Approximately 60,000<br />
Americans will be diagnosed<br />
with melanoma each year.<br />
This cancer is characterized<br />
by the malignant growth of<br />
melanocytes, which are the<br />
cells that produce the skin<br />
pigment (melanin). When<br />
exposed to the sun, the<br />
melanin in your skin darkens.<br />
Many studies have found a<br />
link between sunburns and<br />
melanoma, but you are also<br />
at risk if you have moles or if<br />
you have a family history of<br />
melanoma. Although a deadly
