Stay Safe (and Still Have Fun!) in the Sun This Summer

May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, so take this moment to think: When was the last time you saw a derm? And have you done a self-exam recently?

We know, we know, we're nagging. But according to the Skin Cancer Foundation, skin cancer is the most common of all cancers, affecting more than two million Americans each year. What's more: It's the easiest to cure, if diagnosed and treated early. So get checked, people!

In honor of the month, we've put together this complete guide to staying safe (but still having fun!) in the sun. From how to fake a tan to the best SPFs on the market, check it all out right here.

And if you're itching to get checked, we got you. We're dubbing today Mole-Check Monday, and we've partnered up with Flywheel to offer free skin checks in New York City tonight (watch for us on Twitter with #SELFCheckFly). But don't fret if you're not in the area: the Skin Cancer Foundation offers these step-by-step instructions for a self-check. And it's the perfect time to put "call the dermatologist" on your to-do list... today.
