Skin Cancer Awareness Month - Be UV Smart™!

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of a lifetime*. Chances are you or someone close to you has been affected by skin cancer - maybe a family member, old friends, or even collegues. Skin cancer has rapidly grown to be the most common form of cancer in the United States, and yet many are still disregarding the facts.

It seems pretty scary when you really start to think about it. Every day we are exposed to UV rays - even when it's cloudy; even sitting next to a window; even just driving in your car! UV rays are the biggest contributors to developing skin cancer. The solution is simple really - you should wear UVA and UVB protection EVERY day, even when you are only outside for a short while.

If you are one of those people still making monthly or worse, weekly visits to a tanning salon, consider this: Indoor tanning may increase your risk by 1.5 - 2.5 times*.

As if skin health isn't enough - lets look at it from an aesthetic point of view -"Up to 90 percent of the visible changes commonly attributed to aging are caused by the sun*." When your skin is exposed to UV rays and free radicals, your skin begins to loose elastin and collagen, you may develop fine lines and wrinkles, or you may start to see age spots and discoloration.

So, be smart about sun exposure and get UV Smart™ to protect yourself. Our SPF 30 formula provides broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and it is lightweight and oil free, so you can wear it every day. It is also packed with antioxidants like Vitamin A, C, E, Green Tea Extract, and CoQ10 that help battle free radicals.
