Before you head outside, remember: protecting your skin is protecting your future. Don’t Fry Day is a reminder that sun safety isn’t seasonal — it’s daily.

Apply broad-spectrum SPF, reapply every two hours, wear protective clothing, and seek shade during peak hours. Small habits today can prevent serious diagnoses tomorrow. Stay sun-safe. Stay aware.
