Now that summer is upon us, we can’t afford to slack off on the sunscreen. Designated by the National Council on Skin Cancer Prevention to remind everyone about sun safety and taking those extra measures to protect your skin, National Don’t Fry Day takes place annually on the Friday before Memorial Day.
