Today’s sweltering and sunny weather is a reminder of skin protection as summer gets underway. Whether you are trundling along South Bayview or tending the Rhododendrons, get the screen on please. A lovely reminder comes in the form of Parasols for Protection in New York City. One hundred bright umbrellas kept Manhattan’s Madison Square Park undercover this week to aid the cause. The orange, yellow and white display served as a warning about the dangers of sun exposure, as it offered pedestrians some cover from the sun. The warning was extended by skin care company, La Roche-Posay, as they handed out sunscreen and offered free skin cancer screenings.
