In sunny Southern California, our kids spend long summer days on the beach or by the pool. There’s no shortage of sunshine, but are your kids protecting their skin from the harsh sun’s rays? “Experts estimate that nearly 80% of one’s lifetime sun exposure occurs before age 20,” shared Dr. Steven Q. Wang, program director of Dermatologic Oncology at Hoag. “Empowering our children with knowledge about how the UV radiation from the sun can damage our skin will encourage them to protect themselves from sunburns.” “If they can learn about how the sun impacts skin early, sun protection can become a lifelong habit,” he added. Dr. Wang shares some easy ways to engrain sun safety habits into your family’s daily routine in our latest blog post at the link below. #SunSafety #EmpoweredbyHoag
