Tips to Prevent Skin Cancer
What do warmer weather, sunshine, and spending time outdoors have in common? Skin cancer! Directly related to exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light, skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States. Over the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other types of cancer combined. One in five Americans will develop this disease over the course of a lifetime. Still, there is good news: most skin cancer is preventable. Here are some of the best ways to stay safe:
Use sunscreen

Apply sunscreen to exposed skin 15 minutes before going outdoors, and reapply every two hours. We know you’ve heard this before, but that’s because it’s the easiest and most effective way to ward off harmful UV rays. While lighter skin tones are more susceptible, individuals with darker skin can still get cancer and still need sunscreen.

It’s important to use a full-spectrum sunscreen with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher for protection from ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation. UVB rays are responsible for sunburns and damage to the superficial top layers of your skin. UVA rays account for 95 percent of all the ultraviolet rays that come to the earth’s surface and are far more damaging to the skin. They can penetrate clouds and glass and play a major role in skin aging and wrinkling. UVA is the dominant tanning ray and is known to cause lasting damage; these rays increase the rate of melanoma and can even initiate the development of cancer.

Since these rays are so prevalent and powerful, it’s important to wear sunscreen even on cloudy days and even if you think you’re not spending much time outside. Remember to put sunscreen on your hands! The skin is typically thinner on your hands, so it’s often the first to show signs of aging and wrinkling. Your hands also spend a lot of time in the sun while you’re driving and are exposed to those UVA rays that can penetrate the windshield glass.

Cover up and seek the shade
Whether you’re out for a walk, planting in the garden, or soaking up the sunshine at the beach, cover up your exposed skin, especially during peak sunshine hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wear a broad-rimmed hat, sunglasses to protect your eyes, and a long-sleeved shirt and pants — even if you’re also using sunscreen. Remember, more is better when guarding your skin against damage.
Give yourself a full-body skin exam
It’s important to assess and examine your skin once or twice a year. Use a handheld and full-length mirror and enlist the help of a loved one for hard-to-see places like your back and scalp. Examine all parts of your skin, including your scalp, under your arms, underneath fingers and toenails, palms, soles of your feet, heels, and genitals. If you notice new or dark spots or moles on your skin or spots that are irregularly shaped, contact your physician or dermatologist for a professional exam.

Your skin is the largest organ in your body. Protecting it is simple and easy and has the added aesthetic benefit of slowing the signs of aging. For more information about how you can protect your skin and prevent skin cancer, visit skincancer.org.
