National Skin Cancer Awareness Month highlights the importance of protecting skin from UV damage and the over 5 million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed in the US each year. Tips to protect skin include seeking shade, wearing sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher that is reapplied every two hours, and avoiding tanning beds. Advanced treatments like lasers, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and microneedling can help reverse sun damage.
