25.01.2022 Those sunglasses you just bought may look ultra-cool, but save them for selfies if they’re not filtering out the sun’s harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Sunglasses are to the eyes what sunscreen is to the skin. Whether it’s cloudy sunny, they are an essential shield to protect your health. Just make sure they also have a UV filter as typical fashion sunglasses don't offer the needed protection.

24.01.2022 If you want to adequately protect your skin from the sun AND be a good citizen and stop the spread of COVID-19 then slathering broad-spectrum sunscreen all over your face and popping on a face mask every single time you leave the house should be your new personal norm. And don’t forget to reapply.

23.01.2022 There’s no such thing as a safe tan or a tan that prevents sunburns. When ultraviolet rays from the sun or tanning booth hit your skin, they damage the DNA of your skin cells. To protect your cells, your body sends melanin, or pigment, to the surface of your skin. So, your skin develops colour in response to the trauma within your skin cells. The minor protective effect a tan.

21.01.2022 Medical and cosmetic dermatologists may bring different views to the discussion of skincare, but they do agree on one thing health should always come before beauty. No amount of wrinkle reduction, laser resurfacing, or complexion correction can ever make up for a missed skin cancer, so be sure to have a skin check prior to booking your aesthetic treatment. Skin checks are vital for early detection of skin cancer.... Book your skin cancer screening today!

21.01.2022 Skin cancer doesn’t happen only to older people. The two most common types of skin cancer, basal cell carcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma, do occur mostly in people more than 40 years old because these cancers are linked to a person’s built-up exposure to ultraviolet radiation over many years. Melanoma is the most common form of cancer in young adults, ages 25 to 29. It is also increasing faster in women ages 15 to 29 than in men in the same age group.

19.01.2022 You should protect your skin from UV radiation even when it is not warm or sunny. Harmful UV rays are present year-round and can reach your skin and cause damage even through clouds. Don't forget to wear your sunscreen today!

19.01.2022 And increases your skin cancer risk over time. While your body can repair some of the DNA damage in skin cells, it can’t repair all of it. The unrepaired damage builds up over time and triggers mutations that cause skin cells to multiply rapidly. That can lead to malignant tumours. Skin Smart Australia is made up of medical & dermal specialists that perform our onsite screening services.... In addition to their respective degree qualifications, they hold post graduate qualifications in dermatoscopy. This makes them some of the best skin cancer detection specialists in the country.

14.01.2022 Any amount of sun that can give you enough vitamin D is also enough to give you skin damage. When it comes to damage from the sun, you can never be too careful. Skin Smart is utilising tele-health, together with the MoleScope app and the MS-Light Dermatoscope to limit unnecessary in-clinic visits during COVID 19 and to assist remote patients.

13.01.2022 Bob Marley was a giant in the music industry, known for his genre-bending music. In 1981, however, he sadly passed away from skin cancer that developed under his toenail. Due to its unusual position, it was discovered too late and acts as a reminder to everyone to always check any unusual spot on your skin.

12.01.2022 Don’t use a tanning bed ever. Indoor tanning (even one time) raises the risk of all kinds of skin cancer, including melanoma. Peer pressure to be tan can affect your better judgment at any age. Say no!

12.01.2022 Sunscreen should be a staple part of your routine no matter the weather or time of year. UVA is always present and can penetrate clouds, glass, and deeper into the skin. UVA damages deeper skin layers, resulting in premature aging and increased risk of skin cancer. A broad-spectrum SPF protects against both UVA and UVB.

11.01.2022 As temperatures rise and swimmers seek relief at pools and beaches, it’s not enough to just use sunscreen you have to apply it correctly and use more than you might think. While spray takes less time to apply and is easier to use on your children, convenience doesn’t always mean better. Sunscreen lotion is the best way to go. The spray is not recommended, but if that is the only sunscreen you have on hand, make sure to spray the sunscreen onto your hands and then rub it onto your child’s skin and face. Be sure to avoid getting the spray into the eyes or mouth.

10.01.2022 Brief sun exposures throughout the year can add up to significant damage for people with fair skin. These brief moments can include driving with the sunroof open or walking around outdoor shopping centres during peak sun hours between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. which exposes your skin to damaging UV rays. Limiting sun exposure is an important measure to take as both direct and indirect UV rays damage the skin and can lead to skin cancer.

08.01.2022 A sun-safe hat will: Have a broad brim to adequately shade the whole face. Be made of a close-weave fabric to ensure no light gets through. Have a dark lining to reduce the amount of UV radiation is reflected on the face and eyes.... Not obscure vision or pose a safety concern (i.e. cords or toggles that can get caught on children’s play equipment) Have good ventilation, especially if the hat is to be used while exercising.

08.01.2022 Nothing could be further from the truth. Tanning beds emit the same harmful UV rays as the sun, and in greater amounts. Using tanning beds increases your skin cancer risk. That includes your risk for the deadliest form of skin cancer, melanoma. So if you know someone that is operating a tanning bed for personal use, do not be tempted to also use the solarium - they were banned for very good reason.

08.01.2022 Donal Logue is best known for his roles in Sons of Anarchy and Vikings and in 2013 had a near brush will cancer when he noticed a bump on his scalp that turned out to be a squamous cell carcinoma. Today, as a fair-skinned and red-haired man he is much more careful about sun protection.

07.01.2022 Your sunscreen protection may be lower than the labelled protection level if you: - Do not apply enough sunscreen (one ounce or a shot glass-sized amount for your body and one tablespoon for your face). - Apply it incorrectly. - Do not reapply it every two hours.... When you participate in moderate outdoor activities such as jogging or are outside on a very hot day, the heat from your activity and surroundings can increase the sensitivity of your skin. Because the protection afforded by sunscreen begins to wear off after lengthy exposure to the sun, and sunscreen rubs off with normal activity, it needs to be reapplied at least every two hours. UV damage accumulates over your lifetime. Using sunscreen can reduce the accumulation of chronic UV damage that is linked to non-melanoma skin cancer and aging. Today’s sunscreen is available in all different types and formulations, has greatly improved over the thick and greasy substance you may remember. It is easier than ever to give yourself and your family the added protection.

06.01.2022 While UVA and UVB rays differ in how they affect the skin, they both do harm. Unprotected exposure to UVA and UVB damages the DNA in skin cells, producing genetic defects, or mutations, that can lead to skin cancer (as well as premature ageing.) These rays can also cause eye damage, including cataracts and eyelid cancers.
