A Happy Summer Starts With Healthy Skin

Summer is right around the corner. Sunny skies, higher temperatures and beachwear await us but not without the threat of exposing our skin to the sun’s harsh rays.

According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of their lifetime with over 2 million people diagnosed annually.

Of course, prevention and detection are the keys to keeping your skin safe. Skin cancers found and removed early are almost always curable. It is suggested to see a dermatologist once a year for a full body examination.
