Map Your Future

What are you mapping your skin for?

Winter doesn't change the risk

Most of us think about our skin in summer, when the sun is strongest and sunscreen is part of the daily routine. By winter, it tends to slip down the list. But skin cancer doesn't take winter off.

New Zealand has one of the highest melanoma rates in the world
About 1 in 15 fair skinned New Zealanders will develop melanoma in their lifetime¹
Around 2 in 3 New Zealanders will develop a non melanoma skin cancer in their lifetime ²

Winter UV levels here are genuinely lower than summer. But the risk sitting in your skin right now was never about today's UV reading.

The damage builds quietly

The moles that show up on your skin today are often shaped by exposure that happened years, sometimes decades, ago. a childhood summer, a season spent working outdoors, a sunburn from a trip you barely remember. That's part of why a skin check matters regardless of what month it is. It's rarely about catching something that happened last week. It's about staying ahead of something that's been quietly building for a long time, and giving it the best possible chance of being caught early.

A different kind of question

Winter is also when a lot of us naturally start looking ahead. We think about the trip we're planning, the goals we've set, the people and milestones we're looking forward to. So this winter, MoleMap is asking a different question. not what are you afraid of, but what are you looking forward to, and what's one small thing you could do today to help protect it.

Wherever you are in life

It's a question that looks different depending on where you are in life.

A new parent thinking about the years ahead
A couple planning a wedding
Someone chasing a personal goal they've never quite had the nerve to start
Even an 89 year old who still shows up for a park run every Saturday

Whatever stage you're at, the answer tends to come back to the same small, practical step. a few minutes with MoleMap today, in exchange for peace of mind about tomorrow.

Emily

“I'm mapping my skin to hopefully be a grandmother one day.”

Emily is thinking about the future her two children will grow up in, and hoping to be a grandmother herself one day. For her, a skin check is one small, fearless step now that protects a much longer story later.

Matt

“I'm mapping my skin so I can sleep and not worry so much.”

Matt lost his mother to skin cancer before he turned two. Skin checks have been part of his life since his teens, and now, as a father of two, looking after his own health is how he looks after theirs.

Werner

“I'm mapping my skin so I can do my 200th park run.”

At 89, Werner walks 15 kilometres a day and is closing in on his 200th park run. Decades in the sun have left their mark, and his story shows that a long, active life and taking your skin seriously go hand in hand.

Why it matters

Skin cancer is New Zealand's most commonly diagnosed cancer, with around 97,000 new cases a year, more than all other cancers combined. Around two in three New Zealanders will develop a non melanoma skin cancer in their lifetime. The good news is that when it's caught early, it's also one of the most treatable. A professional skin check takes a few minutes and can pick up changes long before they'd be visible to the eye.
