‼️A tan is a sign that your skin has been injured‼️

⚠️Whether you’re exposed to the sun’s rays or a tanning bed - every time you tan your skin is damaged.

⚠️As the damage builds - you speed up the aging of your skin & increase the risk of skin cancer.

🕶Let’s review some safe sun basics to best protect your skin this summer!

⛱Seek shade: Be diligent about the amount of sun exposure you are experiencing. This is especially important between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. when the sun’s rays are the strongest.

👒Wear sun-protective clothing: On hot summer days, relying on sunscreen alone just isn’t enough. Pull out that wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lightweight, long sleeved clothing. You can find clothes that have an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) on the label.

🧴Apply that sunscreen. And reapply! If you’re outdoors a good chunk of the day, especially if you’re swimming and being active – just applying sunscreen before leaving the house isn’t enough!

🌳It’s National Love a Tree Day 🤍

The day celebrates the wonderful gifts trees provide us. Caring for and planting trees help moderate the climate, give us oxygen, and prevent erosion. They also provide habitat and structure for strong ecosystems.

☀️Are you aware of the damage chronic skin exposure can cause your skin?

☀️The sun’s rays break down essential skin proteins like keratin, which keeps your skin vibrant and smooth.

☀️These rays also damage collagen and elastin which help maintain skin rigidity. When these break down, that’s when you notice the wrinkles appearing.

☀️Sun damage can also contribute to uneven facial skin tone, leading to brown sun spots, red veins, and other discolorations.

☀️Healthy skin is beautiful skin, and doing your best to prevent as much sun damage as you can now will pay off big in the coming years and later in life!

👀Do you know how to spot skin cancer?

⚪️The American Academy Of Dermatology recommends performing regular skin self-exams using the ABCDEs of melanoma.

A – Asymmetry. Half of the spot is unlike the other half.
B – Border. The spot has an irregular or poorly defined border.
C – Color. There are various shades of colors, such as tan, brown, black, white, red, or blue.
D – Diameter. Melanomas are usually greater than 6 millimeters (size of a pencil eraser) but can start smaller.
E – Evolving. The spot is changing in size, shape, or color.

If you notice any of these changes, be sure to contact your dermatologist to determine next steps. They may recommend testing the spot or removing it all together.

☁️That’s right - even on a cloudy day (or in the winter!) you should be applying a sun protectant daily.

☁️🪟The sun’s rays - particularly UVA rays, are always present, and pe*****te windows and cloud cover.

🌥UVA rays don’t leave you with a sunburn, but they do pe*****te more deeply into your skin and play a bigger role in premature aging. Think fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots.

A broad-spectrum sun protectant keeps you safe from these rays!
