Don't Fry Day
The best sunscreen is the sunscreen you'll use. Don't fry! Practice sun safety & wear sunscreen every day. The sun sustains life and feels good, but it can be your skin’s worst enemy. While every sunburn can increase your risk of skin cancer, it’s not just those big days at the beach or ballgame that cause trouble.
