May Skin Cancer Awareness Awareness Month -What It Means To Me May is National Skin Cancer Awareness month and as so many work to bring the importance of sun safety and early detection to the forefront of everyone’s mind, I would like to tell you about one of the reasons it matters to me. As tanning beds are warming up for their pre-summer rush, I’m going to take a trip down memory lane, to 1994, my friend Jenna and I were preparing to take our first adult road trip, from CT to Boston. At 18, this was scary and exciting, we had never driven into the city! We rented a car, a most fabulously awful, Dodge Shadow from a local repair garage. When we finally arrived in Boston, I remember promising- If we make it out of this city alive, I’ll never EVER drive here again. That is one significant part in my memory from that trip. My other prominent memory, the one that would ultimately be the risk to our lives, is that we went tanning a week earlier. Because you had to have a tan to be &q

As a skincare professional, I often hear “I wish I had taken better care of my skin”. Usually, this refers to damage from the sun, resulting in brown spots, wrinkles and sagging skin. Taking care of one’s skin does not need to be a costly expense or timely ordeal.  Be consistent and find products that works for you!

What are you worth? Are you worth TWO minutes a day? Do you feel you’re worth a minute in the morning to apply sunscreen and one in the evening to clean and hydrate your face? Aging-well is more than just lotions and potions, it’s about how we see and care for ourselves. Washing each night, not only removes the dirt and debris from our face but it makes us a priority! When we protect our skin each day from damage from the sun, we take a simple, critical step towards looking and feeling our best- now and in the future! When we set a consistent example of good self-care, we encourage those we influence to do the same. These are all actions to feel good about! And when we feel good, we look our very best. You are worth it!
