That’s why sunscreen isn’t just optional, it’s a fundamental pillar of your lifelong care plan.

Never overlook delicate spots like your lips, behind the ears, and the soles of your feet.

Choose a hat with a 3-inch or wider brim, sunglasses with 100% UV protection, and tightly woven, protective clothing.
