I hate STUPID Headlines!!I mean, DUH!!!! Doctors: Sunscreen Prevents Skin Cancer News2Houston wants to educate the public about skin cancer. So, News2Houston is airing stories all this week for its Buddy Check series on First At 4 and News2Houston Nightbeat. • Put Your Car Up For Sale, Find Something Better • Stop Telemarketers Before They Call • Sign Up For Daily News Flashes • Get A Great Deal On Your Next Car Skin cancer is the leading killer of people in their 20s and 30s, according to doctors. In fact, many physicians said that they are seeing more cases of skin cancer in younger patients. Melanie Gould was diagnosed with the disease when she was 14 years old. Now, the letters "SPF" have an important meaning for her. SPF stands for sun protection factor. She has to wear it at all times. "It has become something I do on a regular basis with moisturizer and lotion on my arms and legs," Gould said. The skin cancer was found when Gould went in to have a mole removed from her leg. "I have never heard of anyone having skin cancer at such a young age and I just thought that old people had it and it was just something that got sliced off at the dermatologists and that was it. It was a huge shock," Gould said. Remembering to wear sunscreen daily has become a lot easier since so many products include it. Sunscreen was added to products for other reasons than preventing prevent skin cancer, according to cosmetic industry experts. Jennifer Phillips is Nordstrom's skin care manager. She said that sunscreen helps fight the effects of aging. "It is in your moisturizer. It is in your foundation," Phillips said. Newer products on the market make it easier to get a tan without sun damage. It's a tan in the bottle. News2Houston's Dominique Sachse tested the following products on her legs. Lancome Soleil Expert Sun Care Flash Bronzer With Sunscreen Lancome Soleil Expert Sun Care Flash Bronzer Self-Tanning Moisturizing Tinted Mouse With Vitamin E Michael Kors Leg Shine Dominique was pleased with the results of all three products. Dr. Paul Mansfield, with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, said that he would like to see fewer people hitting tanning beds. "I mean, it is deadly and it is just something you should be concerned about. So wear some sunscreen and cover up and don't go to tanning beds," Mansfield said.
It is my sworn duty to follow every mention of Dominique Sachse with a pic of Houston's BEST looking anchor woman, Lisa Foronda
Dominique Sachse will always be cool in my eyes, because she actually accepted in person the "sexiest newslady in Houston" award from a UH editorialist (Jesse Handy). Lisa Foronda is also hot, but she came off like a bimbo on the radio one morning (they were playing some game and she got one answer wrong after another).
That headline doesn't make me say duh, what if the guy was crazy or something? Crazy people run around naked too. Damn that Chris Wragge, the least he could do is parade Victoria Silvstedt around town so that we can get a gander at her assets.
