When found early, basal cell carcinoma is easy to remove and treat, but when left to grow unchecked, it can become more dangerous and potentially disfiguring.

✔️ Apply generously, most people use too little!
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours, especially after swimming or sweating.
✔️ Don’t forget areas like your ears, lips, and scalp.
✔️ Put it on before you head outside, it needs time to absorb.
✔️ Check the expiration date!
