That “perfect tan” isn’t worth the risk! ☀️🚫

Indoor tanning exposes your skin to harmful UV radiation and can significantly increase your risk of melanoma—the deadliest form of skin cancer.

Protect your skin. Skip the tanning bed. Choose a safer glow.

See something ODD on your skin? Don’t ignore it! ODD SPOT™—a simple, evidence-based way to recognize potential warning signs of skin cancer:
Odd-looking, Dry/scabby, Discolored, Shiny, Puffy/painful, Open/oozing, Transforming.

Developed by Dr. Karen Nern and published in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology, ODD SPOT™ helps make early detection easier for everyone.

Early recognition can save lives. Take a moment. Check your skin. Trust your instincts!
