protecting your skin from the sun

About Me

After a long vacation to the beach, I suffered severe sun burn twice on my shoulders. After getting home and the burns had healed, there was some dark areas of skin on my shoulders that concerned me. I have heard about increased chances of skin cancer after prolonged sun exposure and severe sun burns. I was fortunate that the damage wasn't too much to be worried about, but that incident made me want to learn more about protecting my skin from the sun. I created this blog as a way to remind myself of the damage that can occur and how to prevent sun damage to my skin in the future.
