A recap of the ‘Stay Skin Smart’ event
Did you know that skin cancer is the 6th most common cancer in men and 7th for women in Singapore1?
Living in our sunny island means being exposed to the sun’s intense rays year round. With the recent spikes in UV readings2, it is important to learn how we can protect our skin and prevent skin cancer.
As part of our ongoing commitment to your health and wellbeing, Great Eastern Rewards Health is excited to share about skin cancer and it’s prevention. Go more than skin deep as we explore the health of our largest organ, and discover exciting perks and activities as you learn more about caring for your skin!
On 24th August 2024, an exclusive event was held where we dived into the world of sun protection and skin health. We bring together experts from the Singapore General Hospital and Oriental Remedies to share valuable insights and practical tips on how to keep your skin healthy from the daily issues such as acne, to the more pressing concerns like skin cancer. On top of that we also had onsite activities with complimentary sampling, services and exclusive offers from our partners.
Watch the event highlights above.
