Risky Business

Are you a risk-taker? Like living on the edge?

You probably don’t even know it, but a lot of things kids think it’s cool to do can increase your risk of getting skin cancer.

• Laying Out – Is a “killer” tan really worth it?
• Tanning Beds – Just say no!
• Outdoor Stuff – You can’t stay locked in your room every day, but you can be smart about being outside!

Hey, it’s Cool in the Shade.
Protect your skin. Protect yourself.
