Local health department reminds you the importance of sunscreen during summer months
UV radiation is generally the strongest during the spring and summer months, specifically between April and August. As you spend more time outside, it is important to protect your eyes and skin from UV radiation. For example, using sunscreen and reapplying is key.
'Just as important it is to initially use sunscreen, is also the reapplication of sunscreen every two hours,' said Shelby Jackson with the Vigo County Health Department. 'That's the critical point. You don't want to forget reapplication of sunscreen.'
The effects from UV radiation can include sunburns, types of skin cancer, eye damage and immune system suppression. Skin cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer across the United States.
If you have any questions or concerns can contact the Vigo County Health Department anytime.

How to Reduce the Appearance of Pigmentation
Pigmentation issues can be a source of concern for many, affecting confidence and self-esteem. Fortunately, there are various methods to reduce the appearance of pigmentation, ranging from preventive measures to effective pigmentation treatment in Melbourne once pigmentation has set in. If you're experiencing pigmentation issues for the first time and you're struggling to find the right solution for you, this article will go over some strategies to help you reduce the appearance of pigmentation and achieve a more even skin tone. Prevention is Key Preventing pigmentation starts with protecting your skin from the sun. Ultraviolet (UV) rays can exacerbate pigmentation issues, making sun protection essential. Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30 daily, even on cloudy days. Wearing hats and sunglasses can also provide additional protection. Skincare Routine A consistent skincare routine can significantly reduce pigmentation. Incorporate products with ingredients that are known for their brightening properties, like vitamin C. These ingredients can help lighten dark spots and even out skin tone over time. Pigmentation Treatment in Melbourne For those seeking professional help, pigmentation treatment in Melbourne offers a variety of options. Laser treatments, chemical peels and microdermabrasion are popular choices. These treatments work by removing the outer layers of skin or targeting the pigment directly, resulting in a more uniform complexion. It's important to consult with a skincare professional to determine the most suitable option for your skin type and condition. Natural Remedies If you prefer natural methods, several home remedies may help reduce pigmentation. Ingredients like aloe vera, green tea extract and liquorice root are known for their soothing and brightening effects. Regular application may lead to gradual improvements. Cover-Up Makeup Makeup can be a quick and effective way to cover pigmentation. Opt for high-coverage foundations and concealers specifically designed to mask imperfections. Colour-correcting products, such as those with green or peach tones, can neutralise redness and dark spots, providing a flawless finish. Consistency & Patience Whether you're using over-the-counter products, natural remedies or professional treatments, consistency is key. Pigmentation doesn't fade overnight, and patience is essential. Regular follow-ups with skincare professionals can help track progress and adjust treatments as needed. Healthy Lifestyle A healthy lifestyle can support skin health and reduce pigmentation. Stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet rich in antioxidants and ensure adequate sleep. These factors contribute to overall skin vitality and can enhance the effectiveness of treatments. Consultation & Customisation Every individual's skin is unique, so what works for one person may not work for another. Consulting with a skincare professional is recommended so you can get personalised advice and a customised treatment plan. They can assess your skin type, identify the cause of pigmentation and recommend suitable treatments. Reducing the appearance of pigmentation involves a combination of prevention, targeted treatments and lifestyle changes. By understanding your skin's needs and exploring the options available, including pigmentation treatment in Melbourne, you can achieve a more radiant and even complexion. Remember, patience and consistency are your best allies in this journey towards healthier skin. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Regen BioPharma Discusses Potential Impact of HemaXellerate on Chemotherapy Treament Market
SAN DIEGO, Aug. 15, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Regen BioPharma, Inc. (OTC ID: RGBP and RGBPP) today provided further insight into its planned Phase 1 clinical trial of HemaXellerate, the company's innovative stem cell-derived therapy, which has already received U.S. FDA clearance. While the initial focus is on treating aplastic anemia, a rare orphan indication, Regen BioPharma is evaluating expanded applications for this groundbreaking therapy in markets poised for significant growth. Regen sees substantial potential in treating chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression, a market projected to be valued at well in excess of $1 billion annually. HemaXellerate is designed to stimulate bone marrow regeneration following injury caused by autoimmune conditions, chemotherapy, or radiation. Advertisement HemaXellerate is comprised of cells extracted from the patient's own fat tissue and processed using a proprietary method to induce a biological response in the patient that heals damaged bone marrow and restores the body's ability to generate healthy blood cells. 'Aplastic anemia patients without access to bone marrow transplantation face limited options,' said Dr. David Koos, Chairman and CEO of Regen BioPharma. 'With FDA clearance to begin clinical trials, HemaXellerate has the potential to redefine the treatment landscape—not just for aplastic anemia but for a wide range of hematological disorders. This is a pivotal moment for our company as we work to deliver life-changing therapies to patients worldwide.' To ensure the trial's success, Regen BioPharma has partnered with a clinical research organization (CRO) known for its expertise in conducting complex trials. Once initiated, the study is expected to reach completion within 12 to 14 months. Opportunity: Aplastic anemia is a rare disease with high unmet medical need, offering the potential for accelerated regulatory pathways and market exclusivity. Massive Market Potential: Expansion into chemotherapy-induced bone marrow suppression could unlock a multi-billion-dollar market. Strategic Execution: Collaboration with a leading CRO ensures focused execution and timeline adherence. About Regen BioPharma, Inc.
