"Tanmaxxing" is trending on social media. The reality? A tan is skin damage. UV exposure damages skin cells, speeds up premature aging, and increases your risk of skin cancer. There’s no such thing as a safe tan. #SkinCancerAwareness #Tanmaxxing #WearSPF

More than 9,500 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. The good news? Many skin cancers are preventable and, when detected early, often highly treatable. Protect your skin daily, perform monthly skin self-exams and see a dermatologist at least once a year.
