Cancer-Causing Skin Damage Is Done When Young


The scientists did this study are from Queensland University of Technology.  They used UV camera that took images of the skim damage and ageing.  These UV cameras are able to measure the relationship between the skin cancer risk and the lifetime exposure to the sun.  Due to the extreme sun in Queensland, younger people are at more of a risk fro skin cancer.  As you get older and older the rate of skin deration decreases.  But, even at 50, people can still cause lots of damage from the sun to their skin.
