May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month! Olay has teamed up with Dermatologists all over the country to offer free skin cancer screenings!
This is a very important issue in my family. My mom is fighting Melanoma on her face. She was just cleared by her doctor. She only has to wait a year for her next appointment. She had to have a big piece of Melanoma cancer on her face cut away. She nearly lost her right eye from it. She now has a big scar on her face and is missing part of her eyebrow. But she is alive! Thank you Jesus!
To have a free screening (even if you don't think you're at risk!) please Visit The Olay Website By Clicking Here to find the Dermatologist who is participating near you.
• One in 33 people will be diagnosed with
skin cancer in their lifetime.
• By the time an individual is 20 years old,
they have already exposed themselves to
80% of the sun damage they will have
during their lifetime.
• Young women between the ages of 20-29
are the fastest growing group of newly
diagnosed melanoma cancer patients.
• Sun damage makes an individual's skin
dry resulting in premature aging.
• One American dies of melanoma almost
every hour.
• 5 or more sunburns double your risk of
developing skin cancer.
• Skin cancer is visible and easy to detect.
• Skin cancer is PREVENTABLE if you protect
yourself from the sun.
