May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Try Our Favorite Prevention Tips
May 31, 2016
The best way to “treat” skin cancer is to avoid getting it in the first place. Practicing solid, effective prevention is a smart, effective way to keep your skin healthy.
Here are five prevention tips we love:
- Seek the shade between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
- Avoid tanning and UV tanning booths.
- Cover up with clothing including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses.
- Use a broad spectrum sunscreen each day.
- Apply one ounce of sunscreen to your body 30 minutes before going outside.
