sun protection for skin cancer prevention and the importance of early detection As people spend more time outside enjoying their favorite summer activities its especially important to remember that the suns rays can be very harmful if the proper precautions are not taken said Joe Hartsig chief merchandising officer at Walgreens Walgreens is proud to join the Skin Cancer Foundation to heighten awareness around the need for prevention and to bring outdoors the caring expertise we deliver every day in our stores in the community During the nationwide tour consumers will have the opportunity to enter an innovative customized RV with private exam rooms where dermatologists will provide free full body skin cancer screenings and will share insights on sun care dos and donts as well as tips to stay skin safe On Tuesday June 11 Walgreens held a summer skin care fête at Milk Studios in Manhattan as part of the campaign in which attendees had the opportunity to learn about Walgreens SPF 50 Sunscreen that is free of parabens oils and oxybenzone and to consult with members of the Walgreens beauty team The event also featured UV portraits with Paris based photographer Pierre Louis Ferrer that reveal radiation damage to the skin not visible to the human eye Renowned dermatologist Dr Rachel Nazarian of Schweiger Dermatology Group and faculty member at Mount Sinai Medical Centers Department of Dermatology was also at the event and is serving as the spokesperson for the Walgreens campaign The event helped kick off what Crystal Fouchard Walgreens senior director of brand marketing described as an ideal bridge between beauty and health as Walgreens continues to become more of a health and wellness destination Pointing out that skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States with numbers continuing to rise Fouchard said the campaign to raise awareness of skin cancer addresses a beauty concern as well as a health concern According to the Skin Cancer Foundation an estimated 7230 people will die of melanoma the most dangerous form of skin cancer in 2019 Of those 4740 will be men and 2490 will be women More concerning between 2009 and 2019 the number of new invasive melanoma cases diagnosed annually increased by 54 and its estimated that the number of new melanoma cases diagnosed in 2019 will increase by 77 It is estimated that one in five Americans will develop some type of skin cancer by the age of 70 However as Nazarian noted when skin cancer is found and removed early there is a higher probability of a cure which is why she is so focused on raising awareness of having routine skin screenings and wearing appropriate sunscreen especially when taking into account that on average a persons risk for melanoma doubles if he or she has had more than five sunburns Steve Anderson Shoppers Drug Mart introduces delivery with Instacart ers across the greater Toronto area in as fast as an hour said Andrew Nodes vice president of
