Is Makeup with SPF Enough?
Makeup companies don’t have to identify the UVA protection level of their products; and UVA’s cause wrinkles. So, even though your foundation has an SPF 30, you’re not getting any UVA protection. Make sure that underneath any base of makeup that you’re wearing an SPF 30 UVA/UVB sunscreen.

The A, B, C, D & E’s of Skin Cancer: (Watch video below)
Learning how to check yourself for signs of skin cancer is the easiest and most important step in reducing your skin cancer risks.
Stand in front of a mirror and check your entire body for moles, freckles, birthmarks or other unusual spots. Use a hand mirror to check any hard-to-see places. Examine each one, and if you notice any showing any signs of the symptoms described below, contact your dermatologist and schedule a skin exam immediately.
Asymmetrical: Most early melanomas are asymmetrical, meaning a line through the middle would not create matching halves. Common moles are round and symmetrical.
Borders: The borders of early melanomas are often uneven and may have scalloped, notched and fuzzy edges. Common moles have smoother, more even borders.
Colors: Common moles usually are a single shade of brown. Varied shades of brown, tan or black can be the first sign of melanoma, and may progress to the colors red, white and blue.
Diameter: Early melanomas usually grow larger than common moles — generally to at least the size of a pencil eraser (about 6mm or ¼” in diameter).
Evolving: When a mole is evolving (changing), see a doctor. Be alert for any change — in size, shape, color, elevation, bleeding, itching, crusting or any other trait — in an existing mole.
