Sun Safety Myths Busted: Expert Tips from Drs. Jason and Michael Hadley

The best tan is no tan. Any tanning that we do, whether it be outside, indoor, etc. all comes at a cost. Cumulatively, it can lead to skin cancer, melanoma and other forms of cancer.
As the sun blazes down, it's tempting to soak up those rays. But did you know that Utah ranks second in the U.S. for skin cancer cases, particularly melanoma? In this episode of 'The Daily Diagnosis', dermatologists Drs. Jason and Michael Hadley tackle common myths about sun safety and offer practical advice to keep your skin protected.
They address the misconception that only fair-skinned individuals need to worry about skin cancer, emphasizing that everyone, regardless of skin tone, should be vigilant about sun protection. Another widespread myth is that tanning beds are safer than sunbathing. The Hadley brothers debunk this, explaining that tanning beds emit harmful ultraviolet light that can cause wrinkles, premature aging, and even melanoma.
They also caution against the belief that a base tan can prevent sunburn and skin cancer, stressing that any tan can damage your skin. The episode dives into the importance of choosing the right sunscreen. The Hadleys recommend products with zinc and titanium as active ingredients and suggest using antioxidants like Skinceuticals' CE Ferulic for added protection against environmental damage. They also highlight the necessity of regular skin checks and early detection of suspicious moles or lesions.
Whether you're spending a day at the beach or just running errands, this episode provides essential tips to keep your skin safe from harmful UV rays. Tune in to 'The Daily Diagnosis' for more insights from Drs. Jason and Michael Hadley on staying sun-safe all year round.
