Skin Cancer Awareness Month: Neutrogena Takes Action for Healthy Skin

May is Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month. It is crucial to protect your skin by conducting regular inspections and avoiding unprotected sun exposure. Neutrogena is taking action to safeguard our skin and spread awareness about the importance of prevention, and save lives.

Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Bertha Baum suggests that we protect our skin by wearing sunscreen every day, not just in May. She recommends using a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30, such as the Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Lotion. Apply sunscreen generously before going outside, and reapply every two hours or more frequently if you swim or sweat. Seek shade, wear protective clothing, and don a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to shield your skin and eyes from the sun’s harmful rays.

Skin cancer can affect anyone, but certain factors can increase your risk of developing it. People with fair skin, a history of sunburns, a family history of skin cancer, or a weakened immune system are at higher risk for melanoma. It’s important to conduct regular self-exams to look for any changes in moles, freckles, or other skin lesions. You should also see a dermatologist yearly or whenever recommended.

Protect your skin with Neutrogena Mineral Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Lotion. It has SPF 30 and defends against UVA and UVB rays. Dermatologist-recommended, the weightless formula is suitable for all skin types and lasts over 2 hours. It’s also fragrance and paraben-free.
