While February is a short month, daylight hours are increasing, and many of us are getting outside to walk, run, hike or ski. We’re here to remind you that even snow days are sun days. And if you’re on the slopes, remember that as your altitude increases, so does your risk for skin cancer. Practice sun safety, even when it’s 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, we’ve 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.

Join the #LoveYourSkin Campaign
|
Loving your skin means protecting your skin. That’s why we’re launching #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 the 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!
