    Has anyone seen this? I know mice skin isn't human skin, but it's kind of freaky:

    But they didn't compared it to untreated skin. Who knows that if untreated skin is more or less susceptible from UV radiation.

    Yeah, the article explains that it was not the moisturizers that caused the skin cancer, but affected the cancer that was caused by the previous radiation. It still kind of freaks me out because of all the tanning I've done in the past. I think it's time I got a skin-check.
