In honor of National Skin Cancer Awareness Month, EltaMD—the brand behind some of the most beloved, effective sunscreens—has partnered with Andy Cohen to encourage all of us to #GetNaked. A skin cancer survivor himself, Cohen is encouraging fans to strip down and head to the dermatologist for regular skin checks.

To honor the occasion, Cohen and EltaMD recreated an iconic nude photo of the Bravolebrity taken in 1994 in front of the New York Public Library. What's more, they enlisted the help of photographer Spencer Tunick who captured the original protograph nearly 30 years ago.

While Cohen does appear to be totally nude, he's actually wearing just one thing: EltaMD sunscreen, including the brand's brand-new UV AOX Mist, available at EltaMD.com for $45.

According to People, Cohen was diagnosed with a melanoma in 2016 after Kelly Ripa noticed a black dot on his lip and encouraged him to get it checked out.

"It really taught me because I am tanorexic," he told Ripa while appearing on "Live with Kelly." "But just be careful. And I, of course, never thought that that kind of thing would happen to me and it will change my relationship to the sun."

The best part? For every tag in the comments of Andy's post on Instagram over the next 30 days, EltaMD will donate one bottle of sunscreen to the Melanoma Research Foundation up to $100K value.

Not only is this the perfect time to stock up on some EltaMD favorites, but also to show Andy some love on Instagram.
