Skin Cancer Prevention

  1. Try your best not to get burned, especially at a younger age. Sunburns can increase your risk of getting skin cancer.
  2. Wear sunblock. An appropriate sunscreen includes SPF 15 and higher and protects against UVA and UVB rays. It should be reapplied about every two hours, even on cloudy days.
  3. Avoid tanning beds. The increased exposure to UV radiation can increase your risk of skin cancer, cause premature aging and wrinkling of the skin, immune suppression, cataracts of the eyes, and other health issues. For the bronze look, you could always consider spray tans!
  4. The peak hours for UV rays are between 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., so try to avoid as much sunlight as possible, or even seek shade.
  5. Make sure to wear protective clothing to cover your skin. Hats, long pants, long sleeve shirts, and sunglasses are recommended to block out the rays.
  6. Be careful near water, snow, and sand. These three can reflect harmful sun rays, and damage your skin more than direct sunlight.
  7. The sun is not the only source of Vitamin D, but only ten minutes is needed to prevent deficiencies. You can receive Vitamin D through your daily diet in foods such as fish, eggs, and fortified foods. There are also supplements available.
These simple tasks can help lower your risks of getting skin cancer and the more severe Melanoma.
