May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month

istock_000003679023xsmall_cropMay is finally here!  No more cold and snowy weather. It’s time for fun in the sun with outdoor barbeques, weekends at the lake, gardening and a host of other outdoor activities.

But before you step outside, is your skin protected?

According to the American Cancer Society, skin cancer is by far the most commonly diagnosed cancer here in the U.S. But there are some guidelines you can follow to help reduce your risk.

So remember to take a few minutes each day to protect your skin and if you’ve never had a screening, get one on the calendar. I’ve got mine scheduled…do you?
