As Skin Cancer Rates Climb, Canadian Dermatologists Champion Sun Safety Nationwide this May
OTTAWA, Ontario, May 01, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As the warmth of the sun returns and Canadians begin to spend more time outdoors, the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) launches its annual Sun Awareness Month campaign. This year's campaign, through the month of May, comes with a renewed urgency as skin cancer rates continue to climb, and features a cross-country effort to educate people on the importance of sun protection, with a focus on shade. The CDA's digital campaign will share informative content across social media platforms, including sun safety tips, the importance of daily protection against UV radiation, and reminders about early detection of skin cancer. Certified Dermatologists will join the conversation online by answering the public's 'burning' sun safety questions, helping Canadians better understand how to protect their skin. 'Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada, and rates continue to rise,' says Dr. Sunil Kalia, National Chair of the CDA's Sun Awareness Working Group. 'Many Canadians underestimate our sun exposure; even on overcast days, UV radiation adds up. This campaign and the expansion of shaded public spaces are important steps. Raising awareness, improving access to shade, and promoting sun safety resources are critical to helping Canadians enjoy the outdoors while protecting their skin and long-term health.' Check Your Skin Day – Sunday, May 4 A highlight for Sun Awareness Month includes the CDA's annual national 'Check Your Skin Day,' on Sunday, May 4, where people are encouraged to do a self-examination of their skin, looking for any unusual moles or changes. Educational resources on self-examination, what to look for, and when to see a Certified Dermatologist will be available on CDA channels. Sun Safety in the True North This year, the campaign will feature a uniquely Canadian focus under the theme 'Sun Safety in the True North,' highlighting how Canada's diverse and extreme environments, from Alberta's summer heat to the snow-covered peaks of the Rockies, require sun protection. While celebrating the beauty of Canada's landscapes, this messaging serves as an important reminder that sun protection is needed as skin cancer is the most common type of cancer. Sun Safety Tips from Canada's Certified Dermatologists Living in the True North means enjoying the outdoors, but it also calls for extra attention to sun protection. Seek shade during peak UV hours, between 11:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. Wear protective clothing, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-protective sunglasses. Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher. Check your skin regularly and visit a certified dermatologist if you notice anything unusual. CDA Shade Structure Grant Events Across Canada As the CDA concludes its 2024/2025 Shade Structure Grant Program, this year's Sun Awareness Month includes events at sites where new permanent shade structures have been built. A key highlight takes place in Borden, Ontario, on Friday, May 23, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. EST, at the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS) PSP location, where the CDA will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil the new permanent shade structure. As part of the event, Melanoma Canada's Mole Mobile, a mobile skin screening unit proudly supported by the CDA, will be onsite, staffed by Certified Dermatologists from the CDA who will provide free skin checks and expert guidance. About the Canadian Dermatology Association Established in 1925, the Canadian Dermatology Association (CDA) is a member organization that advocates for Dermatologists across Canada, underscoring their essential role in the health care system. As a community of Certified Dermatologists, we are dedicated to advancing the science of dermatology, encompassing over 3000 skin, hair, and nail conditions.

I use this $24 anti-aging eye cream religiously. If you have hyperpigmentation, I would recommend it
When I turned 40, with a baby on the way, it became much more challenging to conceal the puffy eyes and dark circles of a sleepless night. A few years later, I added another kiddo, and tired eyes became my trademark look. I tried dozens of products to revive the delicate under-eye area, but it wasn't until CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream that I actually started to notice long-term improvements. As someone with easily irritated eyes, this lightweight cream is my daily go-to. So, when my four-year-old is up at 3 a.m. with an ear infection, CeraVe's eye cream will help to hide the evidence of a sleepless night. I'm not the only one who loves this affordable beauty product — according to our data, hundreds of Yahoo readers have also snapped it up. Read on to find out why I'm obsessed. With continued use, this lightweight cream will help reduce the look of puffiness and dark circles. This fragrance-free, ophthalmologist-tested eye cream contains three essential ceramides and hydrating hyaluronic acid. It's made with a patented delivery system that continually releases the ingredients so your eyes stay moisturized all day long. With continued regular use, you will notice a reduction in dark circles and under-eye puffiness. Apply a few dots of the cream to your under-eye area in the morning and evening, and gently smooth until fully absorbed. It works great alone or under makeup. The CeraVe eye cream, developed with dermatologists, is non-comedogenic and great for all skin types. It's great for sensitive eyes: I love how the CeraVe cream moisturizes without irritating my sensitive eyes. It absorbs quickly and is a great primer for my under-eye concealer. Each application requires just a few dots of the product, so the little tube goes a long way. Dermatologist-approved: I also appreciate that the product has been recognized by the Canadian Dermatology Association and has been well-tested by experts. It's not just some gimmicky eye cream but one that has a lot of science behind it, which matters to me. Great for hyperpigmentation: With more than 3,500 reviews and a 4.3-star rating, it's clear I am not the only one who swears by this hydrating cream. One shopper said they wished they had found it sooner as it significantly "reduced hyperpigmentation" under their eyes. They stated that their under-eye area became 30 per cent lighter, which they say is a "big win." Not greasy: Another reviewer mentions how "non-greasy" the cream is and that it doesn't irritate sensitive eyes, while another person calls it a "wonderful product." Paulina Porizkova, 59, is 'completely and utterly fangirling' over this viral anti-aging treatment Shania Twain, 59, has used this multipurpose beauty balm since the '90s — it's the 'best of all things' This 'nasty, yet super satisfying' Amazon foot peel mask is the best $14 I've ever spent on my feet It's not a quick-fix eye cream: This product is great, but it's not a fast-acting wonder cream. You need to use it for several weeks, if not months, to see any remarkable improvements. Also, you can't skip applications, or it will set your results back. Commit to using it for a solid six months before you assess if it's working for you. Some Amazon reviewers mentioned they saw no visible difference after a few weeks; however, from personal experience, the cream takes time to do its thing. I promise, if you stick with it, your under-eye area will improve — just don't give up! It's not as hydrating as other eye creams: The eye cream could be a tad thicker; however, it probably wouldn't absorb as well if it was. CeraVe has a unique formula that may take a while to work, but once it does, it's great. My advice? Don't throw in the towel just yet. With more than 2,100 five-star reviews, I am far from the only fan of CeraVe's Eye Repair Cream. One reviewer, who has struggled with "hollow eyes" and "hyperpigmentation" their "whole life," says the eye cream has made their under-eye area "about 30 per cent lighter" — a "big win" for them. They write that their dark eye bags are "barely noticeable" after applying makeup. "I will definitely be buying [it] again." Another shopper agrees it's a "great cream for dark circles," adding that it works "way better than expensive eye creams." "Every dollar spent on it is worth it," they write. "My advice," echoes a third shopper: "Throw out all your expensive skin care" and only buy CeraVe products. They're "reasonably priced," and, importantly, "they work." Despite thousands of five-star reviews, some warn it's "not a miracle product" and agree it can take a few months to show noticeable results. I love CeraVe products, and this one is no exception. It's gentle on my eye area, and after using it for a few months straight, I saw significant improvements in my dark circles and under-eye puffiness. That said, if you are looking for something to quickly erase a night out with the girls or a long overseas flight, this is probably not going to provide the quick fix you need. This lightweight cream will yield results, but it's going to take some time. If you commit to using it twice a day for the next six months, I'm certain you will be impressed with what you see (and don't see) under your eyes in the morning.
