Engaging her 7.1 million followers, she adds, “Skin cancer is the most common yet most PREVENTABLE form of cancer. THATS CRAZY!’

Kerry wore her hair in long goddess braids with blonde highlights flecked through.
She wore two long gold necklaces with coin-like pendants to complement her low-cut swimwear.
The bathing suit was covered in a multicolored floral pattern and had beaded straps.
“These are some of my favorite @neutrogena SPF products, but truly the best sunscreen is the one you’ll actually be wearing!” she promoted to her audience.
The New York-born entertainer added, “So try a few options. Find what works for you! We want to protect you all summer!’
She closed the post with the hashtags “#melanomaawarenessmonth #Neutrogenapartner.”
The Little Fires Everywhere actress wore oversized square sunglasses and the post received more than 10,000 likes in the first hour.
It comes after Washington delivered The Archer School For Girls’ commencement speech days ago.

Kerry shared photos of herself in a classy pantsuit, writing in an Instagram caption, “Dressed and graduation ready.
“CONGRATULATIONS @archerschoolforgirls Class of 2023.”
According to the school’s website, part of its mission is “to create a diverse and inclusive student body that reflects the face of Greater Los Angeles.”
Elizabeth English, the principal of the school, said: ‘We are delighted and honored to welcome Kerry Washington as the commencement speaker for Archer’s Class of 2023.
“Ms. Washington is an entertainment pioneer and a strong advocate for women’s rights and leadership. She embodies exactly the qualities we want to instill in every Archer student.
“As a graduate of an all-girls school, Ms. Washington understands firsthand the transformative power of education that empowers girls.
“Her words will no doubt inspire us all and give our graduates the gift of her wisdom to take with them beyond the walls of Archer.”
Last week, the filmmaker took to social media to pay tribute to Tina Turner after she passed away at age 83.
Opening up to her fans, she wrote in a heartfelt caption, “When I was little I used to stand in my Aunt Daph’s living room and do my best #TinaTurner impression for anyone who would listen.

“Not because I sounded like her (although God knows I tried. And still try, even with Hasty Pudding in 2016!) or looked like her, but because she was an epitome of confidence, grace and talent.”
The thoughtful note continued, “As we now know, even though she had the microphone, she didn’t always have a voice.
“I was so deeply moved in recent years as I watched this beacon of light take its own power and its own story into its own hands.
‘Through the courts, through her art and through her documentary. THAT is the impression she leaves. For me and for so many black women and artists around the world. Thank you Tine. Rest in peace.’
