The National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention has designated the Friday before Memorial Day as “Don’t Fry Day” to encourage everyone to practice small steps to sun safety as they head outdoors to kick off the summer season.

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States and 90% of skin cancers are preventable. Take small steps to protect your skin and prevent skin cancer: apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, stay out of the sun during peak hours, and seek shade when you are outside.
