  • A commitment to sun safety doesn't mean you need to spend your life inside. If you love the great outdoors, go on adventures early or late in the day, when the sun's rays are less intense. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Wear sun-protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat, and seek the shade. And don't forget sunglasses to protect your eyes.
  • Research has shown that UV damage is more extensive on the side of the body closer to the window; long-time drivers also show more signs of skin aging on their window side. Sunscreen, UV protective clothing and window film can protect drivers and passengers.
  • Sunscreen’s effectiveness against UV rays doesn’t remain constant. Dermatologists and The Skin Cancer Foundation recommend reapplying sunscreen at least every two hours, regardless of the formula, SPF, or brand of the product.
  • It's National Colorado Day! We can't wait to spend some time in the Centennial State this July with our Destination: Healthy Skin program. The full list of cities and dates is now available on our website DestinationHealthySkin.org. #NationalColoradoDay
