MAY IS NATIONAL SKIN CANCER AWARENESS MONTH



Did you know that 1 in 5 men and women will be diagnosed with melanoma of the skin during their lifetime with an estimated 74,000 new United States cases diagnosed in 2015?  Skin cancer is on the rise.

A common area for women to be diagnosed with melanoma was the legs.  However, the chest has recently taken become the most common area for melanoma.  In men, the back is the most common place.  However, melanoma can be found anywhere.

There is a new FDA approved medical device for skin cancer detection called the MelaFind.  It is an optical imaging analysis painless tool that analyzes irregular growth patterns under the surface of a mole. It is used to obtain additional information to help the doctor's decision to biopsy a suspicious lesion.  Dermatologists have to be specifically trained to use this device. For more information on melanoma and the importance of skin protection, visit skincancer.org.

To help your skin defend itself against the sun, make sure you wear a broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 25 or 30.  Anything higher than a SPF 30 is only adding more chemicals to your skin without much more protection.  The key is to reapply every 2 hours if you are outside.


I recommend the Celloyxlin Day Defense Plus, Broad Spectrum SPF 25 for the face, neck and chest by Apriori Beauty.  This ultralight anti-aging moisturizer doubles as a sunscreen and moistruzier.  It is hydrating and reduces wrinkles while defending against the harsh effects of the sun at the same time.

As with all of Apriori Beauty's anti-aging products, the Celloyxlin Day Defense Plus is on the safecosmetics.org list.  Apriori Beauty's products are free of parabens and are gluten-free.  They have an advanced anti-aging Nutrient Reservoir in their products, including their makeup and haircare products.
