As we embrace the warmth of spring and eagerly anticipate the sun-kissed days of summer, it’s crucial to pause and reflect on the importance of protecting our skin. May marks Skin Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the risks of melanoma and the steps we can take to prevent it.
In the wake of alarming statistics unveiled by the ‘2020 Melanoma Skin Cancer Report: Stemming The Global Epidemic,’ it’s clear that action is urgently needed. This report highlights three crucial battlegrounds in our fight against melanoma: enhancing public awareness of risk factors, reducing intentional tanning, and fostering regular skin self-examination.
What’s truly concerning is the disparity between knowledge and action revealed by third-party research. While a staggering 92% of people acknowledge the dangers of sun exposure, only 18% consistently protect their skin. Moreover, the allure of tanned skin remains strong, with 61% believing it to be attractive, despite the stark reality that melanoma poses.
At elénzia, co-founded by Elizabeth, a melanoma survivor who understands the gravity of this disease firsthand, we are committed to bridging this gap between knowledge and action. Elizabeth’s personal journey has inspired us to develop elénzia SKIN™ – a supplement that not only nurtures the skin from within but also shields it from external aggressors like free radicals and sun damage.
In partnership with skincare innovators Endor Technologies®, whose anti-ageing range stems from oncology research, we are proud to offer solutions beyond traditional skincare. Our collaboration fuses the power of nutrition and topical treatments, providing a holistic approach to skin health. Together, we aim to dismantle unhealthy beauty trends and replace them with a culture of sun-safe practices and self-care.
As we navigate through Skin Cancer Awareness Month and beyond, remember that our skin is more than just a canvas for beauty; it’s a vital organ deserving of our utmost care and protection. Join us in the fight against melanoma, because together, we can make a difference and ensure a brighter, healthier future for all.
