Many young people believe that wearing sunscreen is not as important for them as it is for babies and older adults. A Canadian news source recently disproved this theory by reporting that skin cancer patients are getting younger.
CJAD news spoke to a dermatologist Ari Demerjian who said that twenty years ago the average person diagnosed skin cancer was around 50 years of age. Now, it is normal to see a 30-year-old with the condition.
The Skin Cancer Foundation reports that more than two million people are diagnosed with the disease each year. The organization also reports that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer for people between the ages of 25 and 29 years old.
There are many ways to protect one's self against this disease. Using an African American skin care product with SPF and antioxidant extracts for added sun protection is one way ethnic women can help keep skin healthy and beautiful.
