Did you spend too much time in this sun in your youth? Wishing you could turn back the time and reverse the sun damage your skin has? Well, we might be able to do just that in the future, with a little help from kangaroos!
Kangaroos apparently have the ability to literally repair the damage to their skin brought on from being in the sun day in and day out. Amazing! And with this information, scientists in Melbourne are working to see if they can create a topical cream with the same technology for humans. If they are successful, this could help prevent some forms of skin cancer.
Seeing sun not only causes skin cancer, but signs of aging, if they can create a formula that is safe and works, I foresee this being a #1 product for many people. But, as with anything that's being researched, don't be looking for it any time soon. Research takes time.
First snakes, now kangaroos! What do you think about this?
