Millions of people head outdoors every year when the weather warms up, in fact the historical statistical records by census.gov put the number of American adults participation in beach leisure activities at around 60 million people not including children (Census Bureau of USA), this represent a big portion of the entire USA population, and this trend has grown in recent years.

In 2021, the latest year for which incidence data are available, 90,365 new cases of Melanomas of the skin were reported in the United States (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention). this represent a small percentage of the population, however when taking into consideration that about 20% of the USA population engage in beach activities and are more exposed to the sun, this figure represents a higher percentage of the people who spends their time on the beach.

If you do not take precautions and steps to be protected from the sun UVA and UVB rays, you may end up with sunburns and unwanted skin damage. Over exposure to the sun rays can severely damage the skin cells and may ultimately lead to skin cancer! Protecting yourself and your family from an early age can help preserve your skin natural elements.

Although sunscreen is a great tool to help prevent sun damage, but it is not enough on its own.
