4 Ways to Prevent Skin Cancer

Sun can give you more than wrinkles – it can give you cancer.

In honor of Melanoma Awareness Month, this is our second post about skin cancer and how you can avoid getting it. Turns out it’s the most common kind of cancer in the U.S., yet it’s also easy to see and curable if caught early.

Stay safe as you head into summer. Here’s how:

1. Avoid the sun.

Exposure to the sun is the biggest environmental factor when it comes to skin cancer. So – stay out of it! Be especially carefully to avoid the sun during midday (10 am – 4 pm) when the UV rays are the strongest. 

2. Wear sunscreen every day.

Wear a moisturizer and/or foundation with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15. Don’t stop there, though: slather sunscreen on any part of your body not covered by clothing—don’t forget your ears, the back of your neck or your hands. Repeat throughout the day.

3. Wear a hat and sunglasses.

Besides looking cool, you’ll shield yourself from damage with these two sun-blocking accessories.

With the hat, go for a wide brim to shade as much of your face as possible. Sunglasses should block both ultraviolet-A (UVA) and ultraviolet-B (UVB) rays.

4. Try a self-tanner.

Give yourself a beautiful bronzed glow with self-tanners. Not sure which one to use? Check out this handy review of self-tanners.
