London,
(ANI):
Twilight
stars
Robert
Pattinson
and
Kristen
Stewart
are
saving
thousands
of
lives
from
cancer
–
by
maintaining
their
pale
complexions,
says
experts.
The
hunk
shot
to
fame
as
vampire
Edward
Cullen
in
Twilight,
while
his
co-star
and
girlfriend
Stewart
is
equally
as
pale-skinned
in
the
movie
franchise.
And
the
couple
has
been
credited
with
giving
youngsters
the
confidence
to
step
out
without
a
tan
-
which
will
ultimately
help
reduce
cancer
rates.
"People
have
to
want
to
resemble
the
individual
giving
the
message.
If
that
image
comes
in
vogue
then
people
will
follow
suit
and
ultimately
that
could
be
better
for
people's
skin," the
Daily
Star
quoted
Dr.
Raj
Mallipeddi
as
saying.
Eric
Jimenz
from
Urban
Decay
Cosmetics
added:
"Due
to
films
such
as
Twilight,
people
see
that
pale
skin
can
still
be
sophisticated,
timeless
and
glamorous."
