☀️ En Los Ángeles el sol nunca descansa, ¡pero el calor del verano hace que cuidarse sea aún más importante!
Agosto es el Mes de la Protección Solar de Verano.
🔆 Dato importante: 1 de cada 5 estadounidenses tendrá cáncer de piel antes de los 70 años, y solo unas pocas quemaduras graves pueden duplicar ese riesgo.

👒🧴😎 Por eso no pueden faltar: sombrero, bloqueador solar, gafas de sol y mucha agua.
🌴 Disfruta del verano, pero hazlo con seguridad. ¡Tu piel te lo agradecerá!
