What causes skin cancer?

Skin cancer is caused by the mutation in the DNA of skin cells. But what causes that mutation? In most cases, the answer is UV exposure from the sun. Both regular day-to-day exposure when outside, and also from actively trying to tan. But it often appears in places that are usually hidden from direct sunlight, so there are other factors in play. Studies have shown that exposure to toxins can be a cause, for example, from the environment that you live in. Also, genetics can be a cause of skin cancer.
