We’re back!
With the summer festival season in full swing, Cal chats with the SunSmart Manager Heather Walker about how you can look after your largest organ — your skin, and skin cancer. Together they discuss tanning and skin cancer in LGBTI communities, debug misconceptions about sun protection, and run through when there is cause for concern.
