By age 50, men are more likely than women to develop #melanoma. By 65, men are 2x as likely as women of the same age to develop melanoma. By age 80, it! Take the pledge to wear sunscreen EVERY time you STEP outside. We promise, it's worth it. LINK in BIO.
Plain and simple: avoid tanning at all costs! Tanning damages your skin cells and speeds up visible signs of aging. Worst of all, tanning can lead to skin cancer. bit.ly/SCFTanning#WednesdayWisdom
Did you know Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measure of time that a #sunscreen can protect against the sun’s rays? The higher the SPF = the longer the protection. Still—reapply every 2 hours! #DYK#MelanomaAwarenessMonth
We believe that the best #sunscreen is one that you will wear daily! Please be sure to apply one w/ SPF 30 or above that is also water-resistant and broad spectrum before getting some fresh air. #MelanomaAwarenessMonth#COVID19buff.ly/2VJDGxJ
From @WMCActionNews5 - While #melanoma is diagnosed by a medical professional, it can be caught early on by none other than… you! There is a simple self-examination to detect it through the letters A, B, C, D, and E. buff.ly/2W0RXpL
