Melanoma is the deadliest form of Skin Cancer. According to the Melanoma Research Alliance, more than 76,000 Americans are diagnosed with Melanoma each year – yet, it is the easiest to cure, if diagnosed and treated at an early stage.
SkinCeuticals, the leader in antioxidant and sun protection technology, recently launched a campaign during the entire month of MAY 0 to raise awareness around the important, preventative practice of regular skin cancer checks.
In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, SkinCeuticals will be sponsoring free, full body skin cancer checks at select dermatologist offices across the country. Throughout the month of May, Board Certified dermatologists will be donating their specialized expertise to perform comprehensive skin checks. These head-to-toe examinations will stretch beyond the visual inspection of the face, neck, arms and hands typically offered at public skin cancer scans and will aim to help local community members reduce the risk of Melanoma and provide a lifesaving service, free of charge.
Now’s the time to get checked out. Not next month, not “later”, not in September– NOW!
I know. I have had some biopsies that tested positive for skin cancer. This is the most preventable cancer. Just get seen by a dermatologist!!
“Melanoma does not discriminate against color or tone. It reaches everyone. That is why, in my everyday life I take precautionary measures to protect myself from the sun,” says Top Chef host, Padma Lakshmi. “I wear sunscreen every day, wear big sun hats and try to find shade as much as possible. Beyond that I get my skin checked by my dermatologist at least once a year. It is my hope, that my participation in this video with SkinCeuticals will prompt people to get their skin checked this summer and maybe even help save a life.”
