While February is a short month, daylight hours are increasing, and many of us are getting outside to walk, run, hike or ski. Weβre here to remind you that even snow days are sun days. And if youβre on the slopes, remember that as your altitude increases, so does your risk for skin cancer. Practice sun safety, even when itβs cold outside.
Skin cancer can (and does!) happen, no matter your skin tone. Our Skin Cancer in People of Color page provides facts and information on skin cancer early detection and prevention. And, weβve launched a new campaign (read on for more info) to spread awareness far and wide.
We want to provide you with information that empowers you to care for your skin and safeguard against skin cancer every season of the year. |
