The Reality of Skin Cancer

I never really knew how deadly skin cancer can be or how dangerous it is until after reading this article on seventeen.com (I will put a link below). Anyone can get skin cancer, even teenagers. You are at a higher risk of getting skin cancer if you go to tanning beds. Even if you only use a tanning bed ONE time your risk for melanoma INCREASES by 75 percent. Tanning beds can be so harmful to your skin. Learn the facts about how to prevent skin cancer. Always apply sunscreen when at the beach, pool, or even your own backyard! It is SO VERY important to apply SPF on skin. That includes your face and lips too! Read this article about how a teenager got skin cancer at only age 17.
