With summer in full swing, it’s important to remember the value of using sunscreen, especially on our children. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, one in five Americans will develop skin cancer by the age of 70. Having five or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma, a serious form of skin cancer. By emphasizing the importance of using sunscreen from a young age, we can actively reduce the chance of our children developing skin cancer later in life.
