It’s important to know how to stay safe in the sun – this week is #SunAwarenessWeek, and with summer fast approaching, it’s a good time to think about keeping your skin safe from UV rays. Sunburn, particularly in childhood, increases the risk of skin cancer later in life. That’s why our clinicians recommend following the 'Five S’s of Sun Safety. ☀️ Here are the 'Five S’s of Sun Safety' to ensure you can enjoy being out in the sun in a safe way: #SunSafety #SkinHealth #UVProtection #SunCare #SunProtection #SunscreenTips #SkinCancerAwareness

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, affecting up to 9,500 daily. As warmer days approach, it is crucial to use sunscreen daily, wear protective clothing while outdoors, seek shade when the sun's rays are the strongest (between 10 AM and 4 PM), and avoid using tanning beds. Join us in educating others about the dangers of skin cancer to save lives. #healthcontent #patienteducationsolutions #healtheducation #patientengagementtools #healtheducationcompanies #Santovia #skincancerawareness #skincancerawarenessmonth #sunscreen #sunprotection

Anyone can develop #skincancer, but certain factors can increase the risk. People with fair skin and light hair are more susceptible due to lower levels of melanin, which is the body’s natural protection against UV radiation. Those with a history of sunburns, especially during childhood, are also at a higher risk. Excessive exposure to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds also significantly raises the likelihood of developing sin cancer. Individuals with a family history of skin cancer, a weakened immune system, or many moles are at a great risk as well. Regular use of sunscreen and protective clothing can help reduce the risk for everyone! https://buff.ly/4cZCTi7
