Men, feeling fine does not always mean everything is fine. The screenings you need change as you age, from blood pressure and cholesterol in your 30s to colorectal and prostate cancer checks later on.

Daily SPF isn’t just skincare, it’s healthcare. Even on cloudy days, UV rays can still damage your skin. Simple habits like wearing sunscreen daily, seeking shade and covering exposed skin can help reduce your risk of skin cancer.
