      I hear this argument from friends I see with deep, dark tans, when warned about sun damage. I have also read that European sunscreens are better than what we can get here in the US from the chemical compounds used, so I try to pick some up when traveling abroad.

      And I also read this week that office workers are more prone to melanoma because of harmful rays through windows and more time outdoors on weekends!

      I guess that would help explain why I have melanoma and work in an office that’s 40′ underground!
      Thanks for the read,
      laurie
