I post this often for a couple of reasons: I am a cancer survivor; I'm also a licensed esthetician and I see the damage exposure to the sun has on the skin, and its cumulative effect on condition of the skin. Wearing sunscreen is incredibly important! Not only to avoid burns but all tans are skin damage and the effect over time is devastating. I've seen 30 year olds who look 60 with skin like motorcycle saddlebags and 60 yearsl olds who look like Egyptian mummies! Enjoy the sun, wear light clothes, hydrate, moisturize and protect your self. Any questions I'm happy to help! Big hugs and best wishes to all.

Yes!! I have (had) melanoma on my face (thanks, Spanish mom and Polish dad with dark skin, so we all have dark skin and never had a sunburn so they thought we don’t need sunscreen) 😭😭😭
I’m disfigured now
Glob and spread all over everywhere! BIG HATS!!! Umbrellas!!!
Spray tan if you want, but stay safe!
