With the summer season in full swing, Canadians are enjoying the sun wherever they can find it, but skin cancer experts are warning that some of the prevailing myths around sun exposure and sun protection can be dangerous. An older myth that still persists is the misguided idea that having a "base tan" reduces the need for sunscreen. "Base tan is not a term dermatologists use," said Dr. Cheryl Rosen of the dermatology clinic at the Toronto Western Hospital. "What it really means is getting sun damage to allow yourself to get more sun damage later."
