Did you know that your skin is your largest and fastest-growing organ? Your skin is your body’s coat. It protects you from cold and heat. It keeps your insides in and the bad stuff—like germs—out.

It’s important to take care of your skin by protecting it from harmful ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and indoor tanning beds. Over exposure to UV can cause skin cancer, the most prevalent cancer in America.
