All of this gorgeous summer sunshine, makes me hyper-aware of how important it is to be very diligent about protecting your skin during the summer months. Along with being conscious about protecting your skin, comes the importance of proper and regular skin cancer screening and AVEENO is making that fun and easy by offering the Road to Healthy Skin Tour Screenings in cities all across America this summer!

The Healthy Skin Tour RV is a mobile experience where you can drop by for a free skin cancer screening and have the unique opportunity to speak with on-site top notch board certified local dermatologists and ask them your pressing questions about skin health. Here are the deets on this very worthwhile event:

WHAT: The Skin Cancer Foundation’s Road to Healthy Skin Tour, presented by AVEENO and Rite Aid, will be stopping by your area in the Tour’s 38-foot customized RV to offer free full body skin cancer screenings and the latest skin cancer information to the public. AVEENO sunscreen samples, coupons and complimentary copies of Fitness magazine will also distributed. Screenings are first come, first serve. Local dermatologists that have donated their time will be available for questions, consultations and advice.

WHY: Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, with more than 3.5 million cases diagnosed annually across the country. Skin cancer is also one of the most preventable and curable forms of cancer if it is detected early. The goal of the tour is to save lives by detecting skin cancers early on, and educating the public about skin cancer prevention by means of sun protection and the need for prompt, effective treatment.

WHERE: The Road to Healthy Skin Tour will be in Los Angeles this week and will be stopping at two different Rite Aid locations in Santa Monica on August 10th and 11th, 2011. I am planning to stop by, how about you? Do your skin a favor and take advantage of this worthwhile opportunity, how can you afford not to? Click on the link below to find out specific times, locations, and when the tour will be stopping by a city near you:
