Skin is the barrier between you and the rest of the world–it’s extremely important both cosmetically and medically. We all have skin issues at some point. It may be as simple as a pimple or as serious as cancer, but more than 100 million Americans are afflicted with some sort of skin disorder. The American Skin Association is a New York, NY based non-profit that brings “patients, families, advocates, physicians and scientists” together to “to defeat melanoma, skin cancer and disease.” If it has to do with the body’s largest organ, the American Skin Association is on top of it.

Your Epidermis Is Showing

You can learn a lot about skin by just browsing the American Skin Association website. The organization’s focus seems to be on two main areas: research and awareness. That means allocating millions of dollars towards research and educating tens of millions of children, teachers, and parents about sun safety and skin health. You can get a good overview of their recent accomplishments here. If skin health is important to you, visit American Skin Association’s Jobs page on Idealist.
