May is known to be one of the most fully stocked months of the year. In addition to AAPI, Mental Health Awareness Month, Cinco de Mayo, and more, May is also Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
Just in time for the seasons when we start wearing less and going out more, The Skin Cancer Foundation has launched an initiative to normalize and take the pressure off of getting your – what should be annual – skin screening.
With the summer season quickly approaching, it’s more important than ever to wear your sunscreen and practice regular skin checks. Luckily, Destination Healthy Skin is here!
Destination Healthy Skin is a mobile skin cancer screening and education program where they give full body skin exams by dermatologists free of charge with no appointment necessary!
This Melanoma Month, the #1 dermatologist-recommended professional sunscreen brand and avid ongoing supporter of The Skin Cancer Foundation, EltaMD, is supporting Destination Healthy Skin by sponsoring exams and donating free samples for everyone who visits the RV and gets screenings. That’s right – not only will you get a FREE skin screening, but you’ll also get some of the best sunscreen there is.
EltaMD has a long line of sun protection products for every skin there is. Their collection ranges from your regular run-of-the-mill sunblock to tinted sunscreens, mist, lip balm, skin sticks, and a wide range of broad-spectrum sunscreens.
Next week, the Destination Healthy Skin RV will be parked right outside of EltaMD’s parent company Colgate Palmolive’s New York City headquarters, located at 300 Park Ave 2nd Floor, New York, NY 10022, offering their free skin checks for anyone that stops by!
Since its conception, Destination Healthy Skin has provided more than 27,000 free skin cancer screenings and identified more than 11,000 potential skin cancers and precancers, including 485 suspected melanomas.
No appointment is necessary for your skin screening! Walk up, join the queue, and a licensed dermatologist’ll see you. Find the Destination Healthy Skin RV schedule here.
