Today is #MelanomaMonday, a day dedicated to skin cancer awareness☀️☀️ Everyone is at risk of skin cancer, and your skin needs protection from the sun in order to reduce your risk of skin cancer.
Here are some tips and tricks from @kimnicholsmd 💕to keep your skin not only glowing😊, but healthy and cancer-free:
1.) Dress to protect yourself from the sun! Wear UPF-certified clothing from companies like Mott50. Wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat 👒are effective in protecting your skin, too.
2.) Did you know? Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of the sun’s UV rays can reach your skin. Seek shade, especially between the hours of 10AM and 2PM. ⛱😎
3.) Schedule a skin check with your board-certified dermatologist at least once per year.👩⚕️💕
