No nonsense answers to questions we are often asked
How can I judge how resistant my skin is to skin cancers?
If you have light skin, freckles,
lots of moles, pale eye colour, or are allergic to sunshine,
recognise that you are more likely to develop problems with
sunbathing than most people and be prepared to avoid the sun if you
can. Certainly, for the same SPF, the length of time that you can
safely stay in the sun is likely to be a lot less than your darker
skinned fellow sunbather.
