It is finally summer and time to be pulling out the swimsuits! We all want to be outside enjoying the sun but we also need to be careful. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the United States and 1 person dies from it every hour. Also 1 in 5 Americans will develop skin cancer over the course of their lifetime. Whenever we are out in the sun we should wear sunscreen to protect our bodies from harmful UV rays. This is public health.
