TWO FULL PAGES OF SKIN CANCER MYTHS EXPOSED

There's so much nonsense floating around about skin cancer, we asked one of the top dermatologists in the United States to fill you in. Starting on page 497 he provides two full pages of so-called "facts" about skin cancer that aren't true!

Maybe you've heard that sun exposure is the main cause of skin cancer? It's not so! There's another factor that's more important. See page 498.

And did you know a sunscreen with an SPF of 45 is NOT three times as good as one rated SPF 15? Save your money. Page 497

Does clothing protect your skin from the sun? Not always! Burning rays can pass right through certain kinds of cloth. See page 498.
