Join the #LoveYourSkin Campaign
|
Loving your skin means protecting your skin. That’s why we’ve launched #LoveYourSkin, a public awareness campaign focused on education, early detection and sun protection for skin of color.
Skin cancer is often diagnosed later in people of color, when it is more challenging to treat. Together, we can help one another, share the facts and the love.
It’s easy to get involved:
- Follow us and the hashtag #LoveYourSkinProtectYourSkin on social media
- Share facts and graphics to help spread the word
- Read and share our blog posts about skin cancer in people of color
- Use the hashtag #LoveYourSkinProtectYourSkin and tag us @SkinCancerOrg so we can amplify the message
Stay tuned for more ways to get involved!
