I was curious about how much suncream you should wear. So I started looking for studies and research. That question led to another question. And then another and then another… Four months later, I emerged blinking from the soup of information surrounding sunscreen, ultraviolet radiation and skin cancer, drenched in knowledge.
Somewhat pale-skinned. I really should get out more.
The graphic on this page has a few of the answers I found. You can find the rest on my site informationisbeautiful.net. And check the studies, data and sources for yourself here: http://www.bit.ly/sunscreensmoke
