Understanding the impact of the sun on the skin
The HinduStepping out to a bright and sunny day is par for course in most parts of India, for the better part of a year. Too much exposure to these rays over a long time, can damage the DNA in our skin cells, causing them to grow abnormally, which ultimately leads to skin cancer. People with darker skin typically have more eumelanin which offers more protection against UV radiation, which makes individuals with darker skin tones less prone to developing skin cancer. The risk of skin cancer in India depends upon several factors including geographic location, skin type, exposure to the sun and more. Additionally, those who work in coastal and high altitude areas are exposed to significant amounts of UV rays, which in turn increases their chances of getting skin cancer.
