Friday Five – Don’t Fry Day

May 27, 2022 | Posted by Annmarie Budniak | Celebrations - Awareness, HIT Feed |

Follow and join the conversation with #dontfryday, #skincancerprevention, and #protectyourskin.

To help reduce rising rates of skin cancer from overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun, the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention (@skincancerprev) has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as “Don’t Fry Day” to encourage sun safety awareness and to remind everyone to protect their skin while enjoying the outdoors. Our Friday Five provides facts, tips and information to help readers stay safe while basking in the summer sun.

3 Rules for Choosing Sunscreen

The best sunscreen is the sunscreen you’ll use. Practice sun-safe habits and wear sunscreen every day. Stop by Vaughn Pharmacy for some recommendations. #DontFryDay #SmallStepsForSunSafety #WearSunscreen pic.twitter.com/2mtz6j65Oy

What to Look for: ABCDES of Melanoma

Download the American Academy of Dermatology’s (@AADskin) body mole map to note the results of your self-examination. Consult your dermatologist immediately if any of your moles or pigmented spots exhibit the ABCDES of Melanoma.

UV Index Mobile App

The Ultraviolet (UV) Index predicts the ultraviolet radiation levels on a 1-11+ scale. EPA’s UV Index mobile app provides a daily forecast of the expected intensity of UV radiation from the sun. To assist users in utilizing the UV Index forecast, EPA provides two options for viewing this information with your mobile device.

Use the @EPA UV Index mobile app to track your local UV forecast and plan how you’ll keep yourself and the ones you love sun-safe. More sun safety tips here: https://t.co/WVGTPH2Tvg pic.twitter.com/YoQHB5fC0f
