Skin Cancer Protection

Here are some ways to protect yourself from skin cancer:

• Some UV exposure is healthy, but avoid over-exposure, sunburns and suntans.
• Limit your unprotected time in the sun, especially during peak UV hours, which is at midday during the summer.
• Find shade or bring it with you.
• Use sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher every day.
• Wear cover-up clothing, hats and sunglasses.
• Don’t use tanning beds or lamps.
• Check your skin for changes every month.
