Skin Cancer is NOT Gorgeous. S...
The Beauty Retailer Continues Its Commitment to Safe Sun with New Sun Safety Kit This May, Sephora is proud to re-partner with The Skin Cancer Foundation on their second annual Sun Safety Kit. The kit, which proved to be extremely popular last year, is back and better than ever with an arsenal of safe sun skincare, and best of all, 100% of the net proceeds will benefit The Skin Cancer Foundation. More than 1.3 million skin cancers are diagnosed each year, so this year, do your part to protect yourself while helping others.
"Just 2-3 minutes of sun exposure is enough to do damage and begin breaking down the collagen that keeps skin firm,” says Stacy Baker, editorial director at Sephora. ”Cumulative sun exposure causes more than 90 percent of non melanoma skin cancers and makes you look older. Sephora's Sun Safety Kit has a roundup of easy-to-use, travel-friendly products -- all SPF 15 or greater -- to make it fast and convenient to protect yourself from head to toe from damaging UV rays."
"We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Sephora on this extremely successful awareness program,” said Perry Robins, MD, President, The Skin Cancer Foundation. “The outstanding success of the Sun Safety Kit reinforces Sephora’s commitment to education on keeping skin healthy skin and making people aware of the importance of sun protection all year round.”
This year’s kit comes complete with must-have travel-sized sun essentials, plus a UV indicator card – essential for monitoring the daily UV index. Packaged in an eco-friendly, waterproof travel pouch, it is the perfect kit to pack for wherever your summertime travels might take you – and remember, always practice safe sun!
