A new study sunshine beats USA - exposure on the weekends can help some protection against skin cancer. As the reported Telegraph, the researchers found that although excessive sun exposure to the development of Melanoma is linked, exposure can have daily protective qualities weekends in doses of up to five hours.
Professor Newton Bishop is cited in the report using the results of her and her colleagues, "the relationship between the height of the Sun, we are exposed and the risk of Melanoma is complicated - we have known for a long time that melanomas are something to do with exposure to the Sun and light skin."
"Our paper suggests that the moderate regular sun exposure could actually reduce the risk." We talk about very high levels of exposure to the Sun for the protective effect with an average four to five hours a day at the weekends… It seems that in moderation, sun exposure may be protective, but it is if you have extreme sunlight, it becomes a problem. "To sunburn is a potent risk factor in the UK because we have a habit of not getting much sun at home and then suddenly exposing our skin when we go abroad."
