Every May, I make it a priority to go to the dermatologist to get a skin cancer screening. My dad’s had a brush with skin cancer (he’s fine now though, whew), so I know I have to be careful too! Now, if you don’t have a dermatologist, make sure to stop by The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin screening tour, sponsored by Aveeno. The mobile tour will be stopping by a location near you (visit their site to see exactly where!) for screenings with doctors as well as free samples of Aveeno’s new Positively Ageless SPF! Last year, the tour attracted almost 7,000 visitors and screened over 3,000 people. Of those screened, more than 3,200 suspicious markings were detected and 39 suspected cases of melanoma were discovered!
Could too many sweets really cause breakouts? Maybe! What has long been thought to be a myth–that sugar causes acne–is now being reconsidered. I read in The New York Times that a recent study links foods that have a high glycemic index to breakouts. Foods with a high glycemic index raise your blood glucose levels rapidly, which releases a flood of insulin and hormones that scientists think might stimulate oil production and inflame the skin. But it’s not just sweet treats like candy, sugary breakfast cereals and doughnuts that might cause zits; foods such as pretzels, pasta, white bread and potatoes are also high on the glycemic index. Worse still, all these tempting snacks also increase your risk for heart disease, sap energy levels and cause weight gain. Try a diet that’s rich in oats and whole grains with plenty of fruits and veggies to stay healthy and banish bumps!
