May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month ☀️

Your skin is your body’s largest organ—protect it like it matters, because it does. Skin cancer is one of the most common cancers, but it’s also one of the most preventable.

Simple steps make a big difference:
• Wear broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) every day
• Reapply every 2 hours, especially outdoors
• Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 AM–4 PM)
• Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses
• Check your skin regularly and know what’s normal for you

Early detection can save lives. If you notice new or changing spots, don’t wait—get them checked!
