Spring has officially sprung! More time outside means more exposure to harmful UV rays. Take proper precautions this season to keep yourself and your family sun safe.
Happy #StPatricksDay! Be sure to wear green AND sunscreen before you go out today.
Daylight Saving Time begins tonight. Remember to set your clocks forward one hour and be prepared for darker mornings and more daylight in the evenings.
In partnership with Tru-Skin Dermatology, we’re offering free skin cancer screenings this month! March 9 in Hallettsville, March 10 in Cedar Park, and March 11 in Spring Branch. Learn more at bit.ly/2Ac4rhX
Seeing sun damage in UV photography is helping bring awareness to critical skin protection. Read more about it below: bit.ly/3ATgTSg
Free cancer screenings are available in Austin on October 14 and in Bastrop on October 15. Visit bit.ly/2SCmHug or call 888.451.0139 to make an appointment.
Summer may be over, but the sun is still strong and your skin still needs protection. Remember to avoid sunlight in the middle of the day and always wear your sunscreen.
It’s a myth that skin cancer only affects the elderly. High sun exposure in the first 10 years of life more than doubles your risk of developing melanoma, so it’s important to start healthy sun habits with your family early on.
We’re offering free cancer screenings September 15 in Spring Branch, Cedar Park, and Hallettsville. Visit bit.ly/2SCmHug or call 888.451.0139 to make an appointment.
Remember sun safety this #LaborDayWeekend! Reapply sunscreen every 1-2 hours and seek out the shade as much as possible.
If you are hosting an outdoor event in the greater Austin area, we would love to donate sunscreen for you and your event participants. Apply at bit.ly/2KzmDY6
Sunscreens come in many different options from mineral, to chemical, lotion to spray. What matters most is finding a product that you can use consistently.
It’s back to school month and the kids probably want to soak up every last bit of summer. Remember to seek out the shade, apply sunscreen every two hours, and stay hydrated.
Temperatures can be misleading. It may be hottest at the end of the day, but the sun is strongest between 10am and 4pm. Plan accordingly.
Worried about getting enough Vitamin D? Don’t look toward the sun for help. Try incorporating more fish and mushrooms into your diet. Many non-dairy milks are also fortified with Vitamin D.
Sun damage doesn’t just come from sunburns. Even a light tan can be a sign of your damaged skin cells trying to protect themselves.
