No! Anyone can develop skin cancer, although people with fair complexions do tend to be more susceptible to specific types of skin cancer and precancerous conditions than people with darker skin tones. In addition to fair skin and light hair, risk factors for skin cancer include exposure to toxic materials, such as arsenic and coal; industrial x-ray exposure; scarring from diseases or burns; family history of the disease; a tendency to freckle or burn easily; lots of sun exposure throughout your life; sunburns as a child or adolescent.

The truth is that we don't know the entire story, but there are several facts that are known. Acne is caused by several contributing factors. Hormones are a major influence on acne. That's why you don't see acne before puberty. In women, birth control pills can either aggravate or improve acne. This probably depends on your response to the progestins in birth control pills. Bacteria contribute to acne - which is why either oral or topical antibiotics help. Greasy creams, perspiration, headbands and other things that can plug up pores make acne worse. Stress doesn't help either. What you eat is generally not a major contributing factor to developing acne |

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, more than 90% of all skin cancers are caused by sun exposure. Since only about 33% of adults and children regularly use sun protection, many cases of skin cancer could be avoided if recommended sun safety precautions are followed daily.

| Answer: |
When skin is dehydrated, the water content of the very top layer of skin is reduced, causing it to shrink. This shrinkage creates many of the familiar symptoms of dry skin, including itching, scaling, loss of elasticity and tightness. Scratching further damages the skin, leaving it vulnerable to infection. Some causes of dry skin include:
• Overheated rooms
• Low humidity
• Cold winter air
• Excessive sun
• Too much soap and water, which washes away natural oils
• Cleansing in hot water Lotion, intensive lotion, hydro-lipo lotion or even change soap that is right for you, all can help!

| Answer: |
It is important to wear sunscreen every day to protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun. Therefore, it's important to choose a moisturizer that offers broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sun protection. Most wrinkles come from UVA (aging) rays, while UVB (burning) rays are the main cause of sunburn and skin cancer.

| Answer: |
Here are a few simple steps that most people can take to care for and protect their skin: - Use a gentle, non-drying cleanser twice a day, everyday, for your face and body.
- Apply a moisturizer to hydrate skin on your face and body daily.
- To reduce the risk of premature skin-aging and skin cancer, protect your skin from the damaging rays of the sun by using a sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher) when outside every day, wearing protective clothing outdoors, and avoiding overexposure to the sun and tanning beds/salons.
In addition, proper skin care should also include seeing a dermatologist.
