AskDerm.com Promotes Skin Cancer Awareness Month with Free Sun Protection

    BLOOMFIELD, NY, May 03, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- AskDerm.com, a leading online retailer of Dermatologist recommended products, is helping to spread awareness on the importance of sun protection. Throughout May, AskDerm.com will be giving away free sun protection products. These free gifts will be announced on the AskDerm.com Facebook page, and include products from popular brands such as KINeSYS, Colorescience, and Elta MD.

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. More than 3.5 million skin cancers in over 2 million people are diagnosed annually.

"Studies have shown that the daily use of a broad-spectrum sunscreen can significantly reduce skin damage caused by UV radiation," said Dr. Mercedes Florez, a consultant for AskDerm.com. "The ideal sunscreen should protect the skin against both UVB and UVA radiation, and contain enzymes or other active ingredients that will stimulate DNA repair systems."

Skin cancer is the uncontrolled growth of abnormal skin cells. It occurs when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells (most often caused by ultraviolet radiation from sunshine or tanning beds) triggers mutations, or genetic defects, that lead the skin cells to multiply rapidly and form malignant tumors.
