From promoting SPF products to sharing their beauty routines, anyone with a social media account has seen the wave of influencers and skin care experts alike using their platforms to highlight the benefits of protecting our skin from the sun. Though the current trendiness of wearing sunscreen may make it tempting to brush off as unnecessary, recent studies conducted by organization such as The Skin Cancer Foundation have found that protecting your skin from the sun’s harmful UV rays is a key step in safeguarding your health.
The Skin Cancer Foundation has reported that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States with an estimated 9,500 people being diagnosed every single day. As well as, that 90% of non-melanoma and 86% of melanoma skin cancers are associated with exposure to UV rays from the sun.
These statistics alone reveal our need to be proactive this summer in avoiding damaging UV rays. To guard your present and future health here are four ways that you can reduce skin damage from the sun.
Though UV rays can present potential dangers, they should not discourage you from going outside and enjoying the sun. We just need to remember to protect ourselves. At Brooks, LeBoeuf, Foster & Gwartney we hope that everyone has a safe and sunburn free rest of the summer!
