Protecting your skin from the sun is important year-round, but with May being #skincancerawarenessmonth , we want to take this opportunity to tell you why. 💛 We’ve brought in our friend and board-certified dermatologist, @nicholsmd_dermatology , to answer some important questions and we’ll be sharing those answers with you over the next few days! 🙌🏼 ⁉️ Why is UPF50+ sun protective apparel important?
✅ UPF50+ protective clothing helps protect your skin in hard-to-reach places and adds an extra level of skin protection. Anything that can protect your skin from harmful UV rays and lower your risk of skin cancer is important. I preach to my patients that daily sunscreen, and wearing UPF clothing, sunglasses, and a hat are all sun-safe habits. 😎
