The 2012 edition of The Skin Cancer Foundation Journal features medically reviewed, reader-friendly articles such as tanning, the increasing incidence of skin cancer diagnoses among young women, & the prevalence of melanoma among white males over 50.

"My grand- mother had
skin cancer, so she has taught me to wear
[sun protection] factor 30 sun cream every
day. I even carry an umbrella if I walk in the sunshine." — ANNE HATHAWAY
"I'm cotton ball- white, so
I'm careful in the sun."

ologists will dig up tanning beds and think we
fried people for punishment." — OLIVIA WILDE

Hamilton — always at the beach, always tan," he says. "Now, going to the beach, getting on a boat, I use a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher every single time. I don't mess with that." 4
THE YOUNGER GENERATION
Sun protection isn't just for Hollywood legends. Up-and-comers are equally
concerned: Kat Dennings of 2 Broke Girls has never gotten a tan,5
actress
Selena Gomez always wears sun- screen under her makeup,6
and singer
Kellie Pickler explains: "I'm cotton ball-white, so I'm careful in the sun." 7 Many of these young starlets are
eager to encourage sun safety: "If you want to be in sun, please use SPF, it's important," TV and film actress AnnaLynne McCord reminds her fans.8
Though she's hardly getting
on in years, Grammy Award winner Carrie Underwood laments her less- than-perfect sun protection history: "If I could go back and talk to my 15-year- old self, I'd be like, 'Seriously, listen to your mom,'" the singer says. "Drink more water, put more sunscreen on,
moisturize. There are a lot of people like me who wish they did more."9 Sunscreen isn't the only way to
avoid premature skin aging and skin cancer. Avoiding tanning, seeking the shade, and covering up with cloth- ing is also important, according to Julianne Moore, whose radiant pale skin is her signature. "I say this to every young person I know. Stay out of the sun! I have very fair skin and it would have been super-damaged. I always wear sunscreen and I walk on the shady side of the street."10
