☀️ Summer heat can be dangerous. Do you know the difference between heat exhaustion and heat stroke?

Heat exhaustion is a health-related illness that occurs when your body overheats and loses excessive amounts of water and salt through heavy sweating.

Heat stroke is a medical emergency and occurs when the body's temperature-regulating system fails, causing core body temperature to rise rapidly to 104°F (40°C) or higher.

Learn the warning signs, take heat seriously, and remember: hydration, shade, and breaks can help prevent heat-related illness.

Today, we recognize Juneteenth, a day that commemorates the end of slavery in the United States and celebrates freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equity.

Observed each year on June 19, Juneteenth honors the day in 1865 when news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Galveston, Texas more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

Happy Juneteenth.

Sunscreen is the single most effective tool we have against UV damage, and UV damage is the leading cause of skin cancer. Read your sunscreen label to make sure it checks the following boxes:

☀️Broad Spectrum protection to guard against UVA + UVB rays
☀️SPF 30 or higher for everyday protection
☀️SPF 50+ for long days outside, beach days, or sports
☀️Water Resistant formulas if you’ll be sweating or swimming

And don’t forget sunscreen only works if you reapply every 2 hours! Your skin will thank you later. 🙌

Check your skin and know what to watch for 🔍

Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., but it’s also one of the most preventable. A few simple habits can go a long way.

When you’re doing a quick skin check, keep the ABCDEs in mind:
• Asymmetry
• Border (irregular edges)
• Color (uneven or changing)
• Diameter (about the size of a pencil eraser or bigger)
• Evolving (anything that’s changing over time)

And remember to reapply the sunscreen ☀️
