On May 19, Total Beauty teamed up with Neutrogena to spread the word about skin cancer and sun safe habits. Dermatologists, bloggers, celebs and other people from around the country joined the #ChooseSkinHealth Twitter party, flooding social media with more than 40,000 Tweets raising awareness for this important cause. Here, we've rounded up some of the best nuggets from our conversation.

1. Skin cancer is far too common...

Skin is the most common form of cancer. Millions of people are diagnosed each year! #ChooseSkinHealh #ad

Melanoma=most common form of cancer for ages 25-29. Healthy skin habits start early - get 'em while they're young! #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

2. ...but highly preventable if caught early.

It's important to take time to look at moles on ur skin. Early detection = 98% survival rate #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

When checking your skin, look for the ABCDEs of melanoma: Asymmetry, Border, Color, Diameter, Evolving #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

3. By wearing sunscreen, you'll not only protect yourself from cancer, you'll also fight aging and sun damaged skin.

Smooth and youthful skin is damaged by UV radiation. Repeated sun exposure can also cause age spots #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

4. Unfortunately, people still aren't wearing sunscreen.

FACT: Among HS students, 14% of girls & 7% of boys used daily SPF15+ when they were outside for 1+ hrs on a sunny day. #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

For my Latinas - more than 43% of Hispanics never or rarely use sunscreen #ChooseSkinHealh #ad

— Bowes Dermatology (@BowesDerm) May 19, 2015

Crazy but true! Only 5% of men even apply sunscreen daily. Make the effort and thank yourself later! #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

5. Tanning is basically a recipe for disaster.

A tanning bed will NEVER provide you with vitamin D that you need, nor is it safer than tanning outdoors #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Lisa Chipps, MD (@lisachippsmd) May 19, 2015

Just 10 minutes inside a tanning bed increases your chances of developing melanoma by 74% #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Lisa Chipps, MD (@lisachippsmd) May 19, 2015

UV radiation from tanning beds = 10-15x stronger than the sun. #ChooseSkinHealth #NTGSpokesperson

6. You still need to beware of harmful UV rays when exercising indoors and on cloudy days.

Some of the worst sunburns come from cloudy days. Be sure to wear at least SPF 30 every day. #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Joshua Zeichner, MD (@JoshZeichnerMD) May 19, 2015

UV rays can penetrate windows, so be sure to wear sunscreen when exercising indoors too. #chooseskinhealth #ad

— Joshua Zeichner, MD (@JoshZeichnerMD) May 19, 2015

7. Tan or burn, either way you're damaging your skin.

False! Any color change in your skin from exposure to UV radiation is a sign your skin has been damaged. #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Lisa Chipps, MD (@lisachippsmd) May 19, 2015

8. The higher SPF the better.

When it comes to SPF, higher value can make a difference. Protection from UVR is directly proportional to the SPF value #ChooseSkinHealth

— Debra Jaliman (@DrDebraJaliman) May 19, 2015

An SPF 50+ is also a good move since it helps make up for misapplication. Studies show people routinely under apply #chooseskinhealth #ad

— Joshua Zeichner, MD (@JoshZeichnerMD) May 19, 2015

High SPFs are suitable for use in extreme conditions & it's shown that sweat from activities like jogging can reduce sunburn tolerance #ad

9. And don't worry, you can still wear sunscreen with makeup -- just follow these pointers:

It is best to wait a few minutes before applying your makeup after sunscreen, so that ur makeup does not cake up! #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Elizabeth Ulloa (@ElizabethUlloa) May 19, 2015

For max protection sunscreen should b applied directly onto skin underneath makeup moisturizer or skincare products #ChooseSkinHealth #ad

— Elizabeth Ulloa (@ElizabethUlloa) May 19, 2015

Then apply one teaspoon of foundation with SPF as a thin, even coat on face, neck and ears #ChooseSkinHealth #ad
