The American Academy of Dermatology (AAD) and its member dermatologists want to remind American consumers that sunscreen remains a safe and effective form of sun protection.

Everyone wants to have a fun and safe summer. By adding sunscreen to your daily routine, like brushing your teeth and washing your hands, the small step can have a big payoff and add years to your life down the line.
