Well, OK. I'll keep drinking a cup of coffee in the morning and riding my bike to work, but nothing beats:

1. sun protection.

2. regular exams.

If you have a mole or skin patch that changes, see the doctor!

I had a rather large malignant melanoma removed from my side that I had looked at soon after it began to darken. Had I ignored it, I may not be writing this four years later.

Now that I have a history of skin cancer, any time any skin patch shows up, it gets carved out. It sounds brutal, but it's a small price to pay, considering the alternative. My latest skin patch removal still has the stiches in.

For the record, I am 50, and a redhead. Well, except for the top of my head, anyway.

The up side is, that I will not have saggy, baggy skin as I age!
