Today is World Mental Health Day. At Save Your Skin Foundation, we recognize that caring for your mental health is just as important as caring for your physical health. A skin cancer diagnosis can bring fear, anxiety, and uncertainty, and it’s okay to ask for help. You are not alone. 💛

Aujourd’hui, c’est la fête des Pères, et comme juin est aussi le Mois de la santé des hommes, c’est le moment idéal pour rappeler aux hommes de prendre soin de leur peau.
