UV SKINZ

In honor of Skin Cancer Awareness Month, UV Skinz is including a free Baby Skinz with every order placed during the month of May. We are inviting you to join us in the fight against skin cancer and skin disease by helping to spread skin and sun health awareness in a very special way.

Please get one more baby covered by donating this Baby Skinz to a cause of your choosing. You can donate to a local women’s shelter, the neighborhood YMCA or even to a neighbor in need. We just ask that you ‘pay it forward’ and help a baby that may not otherwise have adequate sun protection this season!

After donating the Baby Skinz, we would love for you to go to our ‘Live In Our Skinz!’ blog and let us know what you did with it. At the end of May, we’d like to be able to share the top donation locations with all of our site visitors. Protecting our children from becoming the one in five Americans who will be diagnosed with skin cancer within their lifetimes starts from day one! Teaching safe sun habits to every child is imperative to help eradicate a disease that is almost entirely preventable.

Every child deserves to live safe under the sun! Live In Our Skinz!
