Two out of three Australians (a whopping 66%) will be diagnosed with some form of skin cancer in their lifetime. That includes melanoma (the more serious but less common type) and non-melanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).
I was a classic Le Tan Coconut Oil kid, so I’ve been “fortunate” so far to have only had several BCCs removed. Dear friends haven’t been so lucky.
We know that the Biome community is concerned about toxins from plastics and synthetic chemicals. But, this everyday exposure from the sun's radiation can receive less attention — despite being one of the most well-proven, significant health risks.
So, as we talk about protecting you and your family from harm, let’s focus on one of the simplest steps you can take.
p.s. Don't think that it doesn't apply to where you live, because most of Australia experiences UV levels above 3 (the level that protection against harmful rays is needed) most or many days of the year! |
