Those were basking in indoor tanning salons may have second thoughts about handing when they see the new report about possible connection between tanning beds and skin cancer. The large case-control study published May 27 the by American Association of Cancer Research found that indoor tanning was associated with a 74% higher risk of skin cancer. Researchers indicated that a fourfold increased risk of skin cancer was associated with indoor tanning machines
To help keep your skin safe this summer, “Good Morning America” spoke to dermatologist Dr. Doris Day, who offered the following dos and don’ts.
Do: Avoid Tanning Beds
In addition to the study noted above, Day said the idea that a base tan protects you is not true. You may not burn as quickly, but you still are damaging your skin.
Do: Wear Sunglasses and Hats
The sunglasses should have UVA/UVB protection and they should wrap around and cover the sides as well as the front of the face. For hats, baseball caps do not cut it. Hats should shade your whole face and head.
Don’t: Wax or Exfoliate Right before Sun Exposure
Things like waxing or exfoliating, anything that causes inflammation or redness, should be done at least seven days before you go to the beach because if the skin is irritated from doing those things, you could burn more easily.
Also, avoid beauty products that could make your skin more sensitive, like alpha hydroxy acid.
Do: Avoid Retin-A Products in the Sun
Avoid Retin-A products when out in the sun. If you use Retin-A, it actually makes your skin healthier, but healthier skin is more sensitive to the sun. The thing to do is use Retin-A at night and make sure to put sunscreen on during the day.
If you want to fit into that bikini this summer . . . Who says that men and women need to train or eat differently to lose belly fat? The truth is that they do not. To be honest, one of the main reasons that so many women struggle to make progress is that they aren’t training the right way to increase their metabolic rate and trigger the proper hormonal response from exercise. To lose belly fat for women, they need to increase the hormonal response.
Do: Avoid Drinks with Lemon and Celery in Them
Lemons and celery contain psoralen, which is a photosynthesizing chemical. Just by touching them, you are making your skin more sensitive to the sun. You should avoid handling them or wash your hands after touching them when you are out in the sun.
Another Do: Buy [The Right] Sunscreen
Earlier this month, ABC News senior health and medical editor Dr. Richard Besser said that one easy way to help battle the possibility of skin cancer is to lather on some sunscreen.
But with so many options out there, which should you get?
According to Besser, it’s best to look for sunscreen with the following ingredients:
Paba derivatives, salicylates and/or cinnamates (octylethoxycinnamate and cinoxate) to protect against UVB absorption. Benzophenones, such as oxybenzone and sulisobenzone, to protect against shorter-wavelength UVA rays.
Protecting against the rest of the UVA spectrum is Avobenzone (parsol 1789), ecamsule (mexoryl) titanium dioxide or zinc oxide. Other chemicals that physically block the UVA rays are titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. UVA rays are stopped from penetrating the skin by the other ingredients.

My Take: Well, due to my disability, I don’t need to worry about this too much because in the heat, I stay indoors. I do not spend my time working on model train sets, but I do work from home. My brother was the one that always wanted the model train set.
I do understand the need to protect against UVA radiation. Children should definitely wear UV protection during summertime; especially in Arizona mortgage over 110° in the summer. There are many natural skin care products on the market today that provide UV protection. If you want to get the best, contact your Miramar Beach plastic surgeon to find out more.
People in Arizona worry so much about the summer heat than they need to get one of those aromatherapy gifts sets to relax with. As long as you take care of your skin, you should be alright. Even a Destin Florida plastic surgeon would tell you that
