Skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer, however it is also the most common cancer in the United States.

As skin care professionals, it is our mission to provide education about the risks of unprotected sun exposure and the importance of early prevention. We can empower individuals to take proactive steps—like using SPF, wearing protective clothing, and limiting direct sun exposure to protect their skin health and reduce their risk. In addition to reducing the risk of skin cancer, limiting UV exposure can also help prevent wrinkles and promote a more even skin tone. Emphasizing these additional benefits can encourage clients to be more mindful and consistent with their sun protection habits!

Beauty bulletin blog post Skin Cancer Awareness month Sheer Protection SPF 30 image.Our Sheer Protection SPF 30 is a mineral sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, making it an excellent choice for daily sun defense. As a physical sunscreen agent, zinc oxide sits on the skin’s surface to deflect ultraviolet radiation, making it an ideal option for sensitive skin types. Beyond sun protection, zinc is also known for its natural antiseptic and antibacterial qualities that also make it beneficial in the prevention of acne.

When clients understand that sun protection not only reduces their risk of serious conditions like skin cancer but also helps maintain youthful, radiant skin, they are more likely to adopt these practices as part of their daily routine. Through education and support, we have the power to make a meaningful impact—helping individuals preserve the health and appearance of their skin for years to come!
