Most skin cancer cases are diagnosed in people older than 65, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is most frequently diagnosed among adults ages 65-74. Fortunately, the earlier skin cancer is detected, the better your chance of beating it! Approximately 82.5% of melanoma cases are diagnosed at stage 1 before the cancer has spread to other parts of the body; for these cases, the five-year survival rate is 99.4%.2
AGE DOESN'T MATTER. Skin cancer affects affects all ages.
- In the past decade (2013 – 2023), the number of new invasive melanoma cases diagnosed annually increased by 27 percent.
- One person dies of melanoma every hour, every day.
- Your risk of melanoma is higher if one or more of your first-degree relatives (parents, brothers, sisters, or children) had melanoma. Around 10% of all people with melanoma have a family history of the disease.
- Melanoma is more than 20 times more common in whites than in blacks. Overall, the lifetime risk of getting melanoma is about 2.5% (1 in 40) for whites, 0.1% (1 in 1,000) for blacks, and 0.5% (1 in 200) for Hispanics.
- 97,610 people in the United States are expected to be diagnosed with new melanomas in 2023 — about 58,120 men and 39,490 women.
- On age related cancers, melanoma is the #3 most diagnosed cancer among individuals age 25 to 39 in the United States. For younger individuals ages 15 to 29, it is the 9th most common.
- The risk of melanoma increases as people age. The average patient age at diagnosis is 65. But melanoma is not uncommon even among those younger than 30. In fact, it’s one of the most common cancers in young adults (especially young women).
- An estimated 7,990 people in the United States are expected to die of melanoma in 2022, comprised of 5,420 men and 2,570 women..

Direct UV rays filtering or blocking shades that protect you is what The UV Oasis does, BETTER.
As we stated above, The UV Oasis lets you control the amount of direct ultraviolet (tanning) rays you receive from the sun better and more effectively, thus allowing you to extend the duration of your outdoor, poolside, or beach activities. The shade materials have been lab tested and certified supporting our claims to the UV ratings of our closed UPF 50 + rated shade and open weave vinyl coated nylon fabrics.
Our proven, weather-resistant closed weave blocks 93% of the direct rays. Or choose from our open-weave nylon fabrics and block 70% of the sun's UVA and UVB rays. The open weave effectively doubles your time poolside, on the beach, or outdoors. At the same time, the closed screen allows you to remain outside virtually all day long according to Dr. Goldstein's testimonials (shown below) after extensive lab and field testing. Because our shade is mesh and aerodynamic shaped, the breeze flows over, under, and through it on breezy days and your shade stands strong.
Makena Resort in Maui said this about its stability in high winds: "They have proven to be stable under the worst conditions. The maintenance of the product is minimal. And on a hot day, our guest will choose to sit on the lounge chairs with the Body Lenz over the chairs without them"
Your time outdoors is spent more comfortably, not baking in the sun and exposing yourself to the pain and damage from sunburns.
What does it mean, direct or reflected UV Rays?
No shade structure can completely shield you from indirect exposure to UV radiation, the type that occurs when UV rays bounce off of reflective surfaces like water, sand, concrete and even snow. Under a beach umbrella, you may be receiving less direct UV radiation, but you’re still surrounded by sand that is reflecting UV rays on all sides of your beach chair or blanket. Because of these limitations, shade isn’t enough to protect you. This is true with UV-Oasis too, we make it easier to block the direct rays better so you can relax. Remember the combined use of a high SPF sunblock and shade protection is your best choice. https://www.skincancer.org/blog/healthy-skin-made-in-the-shade/

The Skin Cancer Foundation advises. "Seek Shade"
“When you are outside, think of shade as your refuge, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM, the peak hours of sun intensity”. “There is no such thing as a healthy UV tan. Whether you’re laying out on the beach or in a tanning bed, the damage your skin sustains can lead to skin aging and potentially deadly skin cancer,” says Deborah S. Sarnoff, MD, president of The Skin Cancer Foundation.
Published excerpt from article in Skincancer.org
"All-around protection. Sunscreen is crucial but it alone is not enough". “I try to stay in the shade as much as possible and wear a wide-brim hat whenever I’m going to be in the sun for an extended period of time.”
April Franzino, beauty director for magazines
Good Housekeeping, Woman’s Day and Prevention,
May was Skin Cancer Awareness month. But skin cancer exposure is year around.
The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends that you:
- Seek the shade, especially between 10 AM and 4 PM.
- Don’t get sunburned.
- Avoid tanning, and never use UV tanning beds.
- Cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
- Use a broad-spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher every day. For extended outdoor activity, use a water-resistant, broad- spectrum (UVA/UVB) sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher.
- Apply 1 ounce (2 tablespoons) of sunscreen to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside. Reapply every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. Find sunscreen by searching our Recommended Products.
- Keep newborns out of the sun. Use sunscreen on babies over the age of six months.
- Examine your skin head-to-toe every month.
- See a dermatologist at least once a year for a professional skin exam.

Skin color makes a difference but doesn't make you immune

If an increased risk of skin cancer isn’t enough of a reason to steer clear, indoor tanning also contributes to premature skin aging. That means wrinkles, leathery skin, sagging, and age spots. Still can’t resist that bronzed look? Optfor sunless self-tanners or spray tans. These are available in many forms, including lotions, sprays, and creams.
The Skin Cancer Foundation advocates that no tan is a safe tan, and that regardless of whether women decide to go with their own glow or use sunless tanning methods, they avoid UV tanning.

It’s a fact: Skin cancer affects people of all colors. Even if you have a darker skin tone, always tan or rarely burn, you can still develop the disease. What’s more, for people of color, skin cancer is often diagnosed later, when it is harder to treat. This includes people of African, Asian, Latino, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern and Native American descent.
Simply put, if you have skin, you can get skin cancers. These include the nonmelanoma skin cancers like basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) as well as melanoma. Furthermore, ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun can cause dangerous, lasting damage to your skin.

Since you’re on The Skin Cancer Foundation’s website, you likely know these basics: Wear sunscreen every single day — sunny or cloudy, summer or winter, autumn or spring. As long as you can see daylight, the rays being emitted by our planet’s number-one star are hitting your skin. For your extended outdoor activities, use sunscreens with a sun protection factor, or SPF, of at least 30. The label should read “broad spectrum” to confirm that the product protects against the most harmful known types of ultraviolet (UV) radiation: UVB rays, which largely cause sunburn, as well as UVA rays, which are associated with tanning and premature aging but can also lead to sunburn. Both types of UV rays can cause damage to DNA in skin cells, and both contribute to skin cancer.

SUNBURNS
Sunblocks what you need to know
Protect the babies futures too
Sunburn is an inflammatory reaction to ultraviolet (UV) radiation damage to the skin’s outermost layers. At the heart of it all is melanin, a pigment that gives your skin its color and defends it against the sun’s rays. Melanin works by darkening your unprotected sun-exposed skin. The amount of melanin you produce is determined by genetics, which is why some people get sunburned while others tan. Both are signs of cellular damage to the skin. For people with less melanin, prolonged unprotected sun exposure can cause skin cells to become red, swollen and painful, also known as sunburn. Sunburns can range from mild to blistering.
After sunburn, your skin may start to peel. This is a sign that your body is trying to rid itself of damaged cells. Never try to peel the skin yourself; let it come off naturally. Learn more about treating a sunburn below.

While skin cancer is the most common cancer in the world, very few cases develop in children. “It’s less common than in adults,” says Anne Marie McNeill, MD, a board-certified dermatologist practicing in Newport Beach, California. “But it can and does occur. There are only about 400 new cases per year in our country, but the incidence is increasing.”
Dr. McNeill points out that melanoma, one of the most dangerous forms of skin cancer, is the second most common cancer in people aged 15 to 29, and that children are at a higher risk for melanoma than other skin cancers. Risk factors for childhood melanoma include genetic predisposition and family history, so melanoma-prone families should take special care. Each person with a first-degree relative diagnosed with melanoma has a 50 percent greater chance of developing the disease than people who do not have a family history of the disease.
