May marks Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a crucial time to spotlight the importance of sun protection and skin health. At Renew Beauty Med Spa, we’re passionate about empowering our clients to protect and preserve their skin year-round. With skin cancer being the most common form of cancer in the United States, prevention and early detection are key. Let’s explore how you can protect your skin effectively — plus, we’re sharing a few of our favorite medical-grade sunscreens available right here at Renew Beauty Med Spa.

Why Skin Cancer Awareness Matters

Skin cancer affects 1 in 5 Americans during their lifetime. The primary cause? Ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and artificial sources like tanning beds. While everyone is at risk, individuals with fair skin, a history of sunburns, or frequent sun exposure are especially vulnerable.

But the good news? Skin cancer is largely preventable, and early detection saves lives. That’s why it’s essential to adopt a sun-safe skincare routine — and it starts with daily sunscreen use.

7 Smart Sun Protection Tips

 

Wear Broad-Spectrum Sunscreen Daily

Choose a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher that protects against both UVA and UVB rays — even on cloudy days or indoors.

 

Reapply Every 2 Hours

Sunscreen isn’t one-and-done. Reapply every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.

 

Use the Right Amount

Adults should apply about 1 ounce (a shot glass full) to cover the entire body. Don’t forget the ears, neck, and tops of your feet!

 

Seek Shade

The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Limit direct exposure during these hours.

 

Wear Protective Clothing

Lightweight long sleeves, wide-brimmed hats, and UV-blocking sunglasses offer added protection.

 

Avoid Tanning Beds

Indoor tanning significantly increases the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma.

 

Schedule Annual Skin Checks

Professional skin exams and monthly self-checks can help detect suspicious moles or changes early.
