Sun Safety - Be Aware!
01/06/2010
The British summer is often not very hot or very sunny though there are exceptions, so we all go abroad or use sunbeds, trying to get a tan rather than look pale and pasty.
All this sun worship has a downside, and it's claimed that more than 76,000 cases of the more common form of skin cancer are reported each year, although actual cases are estimated to be at least 100,000.
Skin Cancer and Sun Safety – The Essential Guide provides up-to-date information on this form of cancer, one that is sometimes overlooked and is increasing. It aims to address confusion as to what measures should be taken to avoid long-term damage, as well as offering advice for those already diagnosed.
The book covers the causes of and the different types of skin cancer, what can be done to reduce the risk of the disease, recognising the symptoms, and the dangers of sunbeds. It also includes practical tips, information on how to choose and use sunscreen, and points out the myths while emphasising the facts. A particular stress is placed upon the common sense measures that could prevent the majority of cases.
Author Rachel Newcombe believes her guide will act as a wake-up call for our sun-obsessed culture, and particularly for young women who are recognised as being most at risk.
As we approach the holiday season and the hottest time of the year, Skin Cancer and Sun Safety – The Essential Guide is the book to have at home or in your luggage!
