Mott 50 Sun Protective Fashion Review

I wish I could express the intense fear I felt the day I found out I had Melanoma. That feeling along with the waiting and uncertainty alone has changed my life forever and made me wish 1,000 times that I’d done a few things differently just a couple years ago. (Starting with covering up at the beach!) That fear is also something that I am certain would change you too. May is Skin Cancer Awareness month and seems like the most appropriate time to share this important information … and tell you about a really cute and wearable line of sun protective clothing that I am so excited about! Especially since sun safety goes beyond just SPF, but UPF too. Read more

Melanoma Survivor Story Q & A

If you are local here in Northeast PA, then you may be aware that our very own Amanda, a DJ on 98.5KRZ, is a melanoma survivor. Amanda is a very young (27), vibrant personality who is the picture of health. However, just a few years ago, Amanda noticed something unusual about her skin that led her to obtain a shocking diagnosis: cancer.

Since May is Melanoma Awareness Month, I recently interviewed Amanda to find out how she discovered the abnormality and what she is doing now to protect herself from skin cancer.

Q: How old were you when you first noticed that something wasn’t right about your skin?

I was 24 when I first noticed what I called a “mark” on my breast. I didn’t call it a mole at first because it was just a dot and it had just recently appeared.

Collection of sebum due to building up of sebaceous oil can also cause hair loss. The sebum hardens in hair follicles hindering hair growth. Other causes of hair loss include poor hair nutrition and scalp hygiene.
