Focus:  Sun Safety
As you all know, we are strong sun safety advocates here at BVCD. While studies old and new confirm that over exposure to UV rays causes dangerous cell damage, the rising incidence of skin cancer makes us more determined to get the word out on sun safety. In this edition of Skin Deep, we share several recent media features with Dr. Gallagher and Dr. Leddon discussing sun exposure, and solutions to keep your skin healthy and looking its best.

Good Day Colorado
There are many lines of defense to protect against skin cancers and keep your skin looking its best. Check out this recent Good Day Colorado segment featuring Dr. Leddon to learn more about some unique UV protective products we like.

Is Tanning Addictive?
Most people who tan are actually well aware that exposure to ultraviolet rays can cause skin cancer. Why do they go out of their way for more and more sun exposure? Some studies suggest that tanning is actually addictive. Dr. Gallagher discusses repetitive tanning in this Boulder Daily Camera story.

Convincing Teenagers
When it comes to sun safety, teenagers are often the most difficult group to convince. We like this short and compelling article from Teen Vogue, which features Dr. Leddon.
