Summary

Skin cancer, melanoma, sunburn, how to prevent them all? Hey Beauties, on this week’s Five Minute Friday, we discuss the things you do that can lead to skin cancer to celebrate Melanoma Monday, the first Monday in May to raise awareness about skin cancer. Many people are diagnosed with skin cancer due to excessive exposure to UV radiation. Skin cancer like melanoma is deadly when it occurs because it spreads to other organ parts in your body. It is essential to protect your skin by wearing mineral sunscreen, keeping yourself shaded, and not utilizing tanning beds that expose you more to UV light. Dr. Kay recommends using her favorite sunscreens: KD Mineral Glow Sun Defense and my KD Aqua Shield Moisturizer! The Mineral Glow Sun Defense is a 100% physical sunscreen, water-resistant, and has a sheet tint perfect for wearing under the makeup. The Aqua Shield protects your skin from aging and free radicals. Are you doing any activity that could lead to skin cancer? Listen to find out more!

0:00.0	Well, hello, hello guys. You're listening to Beauty Bites with Dr. K. Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, and it's time for a five-minute Friday.
0:23.6	Today we're going to talk all about skin cancer. Did you know the first Monday in May is skin cancer awareness, melanoma Monday?
0:32.7	This entire month is skin cancer awareness month. So if you're a provider, time to educate our patients.
0:39.2	If you're a person or patient out there, time to educate yourself. It's time for awareness
0:44.7	about skin cancer. We all know about skin cancer. We've all heard about the dangers and we've
0:51.4	been preached to about skin cancer. But the prevalence of skin cancer
0:56.6	in the United States and around the world is rapidly increasing and especially so amongst
1:02.8	young people. And I want to talk a little bit about the things we can do for prevention and the
1:09.4	five things that will give you skin cancer. So one thing you need to do
1:14.8	is understand that sun is beneficial. I don't want anyone leaving this podcast thinking that sun is
1:22.1	bad and we should be out of the sun. Our bodies need and crave sunlight. We need it to reset our pineal glands to regulate
1:29.9	our melatonin levels to give us energy, warmth, enjoyment, love to be in the sun. But remember,
1:37.2	the best rays of sun to absorb are the golden hours of the day. So early morning sunrise
1:42.4	and sunset is where you get the beautiful benefit
1:45.8	of the wavelengths of light that are going to give you all the beneficial aspects of the sun.
1:52.5	They help you to regulate your metabolism. They help you to improve your daylight regulation
1:59.2	system with your pineal gland and your melatonin levels and it just gives you
2:03.4	a feeling of general well-being and red light therapy that's natural comes from the sun so sunrise and
2:09.3	sunset most important times of the day midday the very worst time of the day to be out there
2:15.3	i see people jogging at the middle of high noon
2:18.2	sun. That is terrible. So when you leave this podcast, don't think that sun is bad. Sun light is
