Protecting yourself from the sun can decrease your chances your chances of getting skin cancer.

Use Sunscreen!

Ensure that it’s a good one, SPF50+ is the most recommended. Please don’t use SPF4 because you like to get a tan!

Annual Skin Check

It’s vital, just like your annual trip to the dentist for a check-up, or getting your car serviced. An annual skin check will detect and hopefully catch any suspicious lesions. Depending on your skin type and history of skin cancer your doctor may ask for you to have skin checks every 3-6 months.

Education – Spread the word!

Don’t be afraid to tell a friend of family member to slap on a hat and use sunscreen.
