El bloqueador solar es una parte importante de nuestro kit de protección solar. Estudios han demostrado que el uso diario del bloqueador solar, cuando se aplica según las indicaciones, puede reducir la incidencia tanto del melanoma como del cáncer de piel no melanoma.

Recuerda estos consejos cuando uses bloqueador solar:

☀️Utiliza un bloqueador solar de amplio espectro (broad-spectrum) y resistente al agua (water-resistant) con un SPF de 30 o más; usa SPF 50 o más para actividades al aire libre de larga duración.

☀️Cubre toda la piel expuesta al sol

☀️Utiliza una onza de bloqueador solar durante cada aplicación para todo la piel expuesta

☀️Reaplicalo cada 2 horas, después de secarte, nadar o sudar en exceso.

☀️Use un bálsamo labial diariamente

¡El uso diario del bloqueador solar puede ayudarnos a llevar una vida protegida del sol!

Sunscreen is an important part of our sun protection toolkit. Studies have shown that daily sunscreen use, when used as directed, can reduce the incidence of both melanoma and nonmelanoma skin cancer.

Remember these tips when using sunscreen:

☀️Use a broad-spectrum water-resistant sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher; SPF 50 or higher for extended outdoor activity.

☀️Cover all exposed skin

☀️Use one ounce of sunscreen for your entire exposed skin for each application

☀️Reapply every 2 hours, after toweling off, swimming, or excessive sweating

☀️Use a lip balm daily

Daily sunscreen use can help us live a sun-safe life!

Kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month in Washington, D.C.! 🇺🇸🌾

FJ staff were on Capitol Hill this week, advocating for stronger protections and better living and working conditions for our nation’s farmworkers.

The team also joined the Equitable Food Initiative (EFI) reception with FJ Board Member Reyna Lopez, connecting with partners committed to strengthening our food system and the communities that sustain it.

As we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, FJ remains committed to ensuring farmworkers, the people who help feed our nation, have a voice and a seat at the table.

✨NEW EDUCATIONAL TOOLKIT ALERT✨

Outdoor workers, especially farmworkers, are at an increased risk of skin cancer. U.S. farmworkers experience a high burden of nonmelanoma skin cancers due to chronic sun exposure and a lack of sun protection measures.

The Protecting Our Skin Toolkit, created by Farmworker Justice and AIM at Skin Cancer, addresses this gap and aims to improve skin cancer awareness and prevention. Available in English and Spanish, the toolkit is designed for community health workers, outreach staff, and outdoor workers, especially farmworkers. It includes a collection of materials, including a train-the-trainer curriculum and accompanying student handbook and PowerPoint Presentation, a flipchart, an infographic, brochures, and RAC cards.
