Summer is officially here—and for many that means spending more time under the blazing sun.

For the nearly six million people that suffer from psoriasis, it’s almost as if their skin is on speed. Normally, skin cells go from birth to death in about 28 days.

I love this time of year! The sun is shining, and my garden beckons. But, too often, I’m so wowed by the flowers that I forget to put on my sunscreen. I know better, I really do. After all, skin cancer strikes more than one million Americans every year – and I certainly don’t want to become one of the statistics. But, even if I slather on sun protection every day, the National Cancer Institute estimates that 40 to 50 percent of Americans who live to age 65 will have skin cancer at least once, and overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is the primary cause.
