The Resilient Joy Podcast is joined by Leah Adams, speaking about her journey with skin melanoma, as well as her family's journey as a whole. Her dad is currently battling stage 4 skin melanoma.
Leah urges everyone she comes in contact with to protect your largest organ--the skin!
In the winter months, many times we forget to apply sunscreen, thinking the sun is less damaging; but it's still vital to protect your skin, even in winter months--year round is the best!
Heres a few things to do to protect your skin:
1. Apply SPF protecting sunscreen, or wear UV protectant clothing, especially at times of highest UV index. The apple watch can be a great way to check the UV index in your area.
2. Find the shade!
3. Wear a hat/sunglasses
4. Get your skin checked every year minimum!
5. Avoid tanning beds!
Here in the show notes you'll find Leah's fave shop to get UV protecting clothing, and her fav sunless tanning lotion:
