Moisturizers used by millions of people every day may raise the risk and severity of skin cancer in those who were heavily exposed to sun as youngster.
A new study has found evidence that some skin creams accelerate the growth of the most common form of skin cancer - and increase the number and size of tumors.
In the tests, four products - Dermabase, Dermovan, Eucerin and Vanicream - were applied over four months to mice who had been exposed to UV light.
A dramatic increase was noted in the growth of skin cancers. The cancers were not melanoma, the deadliest kind.
Australian disease experts said the study was inconclusive.
So what do you think with the study? All I can say is that, if you keep on using moisturizer, just avoid prolong staying under the sun. And if your work required prolong exposure to UV rays, better to stop using moisturizer. It is absolutely better to have dry skin than to have cancer. Prevention is better than cure.
It is not impossible to change

You don't have to stop using moisturizers! Just just all natural ingredient ones!
I hand make body and lip butters using shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E and essential oil fragrances.
Shea butter and coconut oil are natural skin moisturizers and skin healers. Coconut oil is a natural sunscreen. You can rub just coconut oil on your skin before going out to work in yard, fishing or whatever and you will not get sunburned!
