Did you know that Basal Cell cancer is present in the Stratum Germinativum? This is where the cells divide to make new cells, the bottom layer of the epidermis. Having the proper skin care regime that involves exfoliation (preferably Vitamin A also know as retinoids or retinol) can help fight skin cancer. This way you can help cell turnover and get those cancerous cells to move up and exfoliated off the skin. If you believe you have a signs of skin cancer, it is recommended to see your Dermatologist as soon as possible. But, a great way to fight this disease is to take precautionary measures by starting a healthy skin care regime now!! See an experienced Aesthetician to discuss a regime that is right for you.
