Cancer Alert!

We all are hearing it now that summer is here although it is an issue we need to protect ourselves against year round: the sun causes 90% of skin aging and sun cancer!

The sun is of course one of the best things about summer and so I love it and its' warmth but with some simple precautions you can enjoy the sun, save your skin and especially reduce your chances of getting SKIN CANCER!!

The lower lip is especially susceptible to a certain type of cancer and is so easy to protect. Try Fresh Sugar Lip Balm w/SPF 15.

Check out my sista post for another great product.

I will be posting often about other products that can help with sun protection thruout the summer.

And there are some other very simple ways to protect yourself. Wear hats, sun glasses (they should be labeled stating they block UVA & UVB rays), stay away from the tanning lotions and the hours of basking in the sun unprotected.

You only get one body and more importantly ONE LIFE!
