Scan Your Tan: Skin Damage Viewing

Skin damage viewing gives you a visual understanding of your skin. OSU Extension brings a skin viewing unit that uses black light to illuminate underlying damage of your facial skin from ultraviolet rays of the sun. Damaged areas of the face will appear in various fluorescent hues. While this is an effective visual for revealing damage to the skin, it does not replace medical attention. Viewers will be directed to consult with their medical professional.

Sun Safety Educational Programs

A tailored program for your business, school, or organization can be provided. This could include a brief 20-minute educational program and skin damage viewing or a longer educational program that will meet your needs. Tabletop displays which feature additional consumer information such as sun-safe apparel and effective sunscreens may also be available.
