2. If you live in a warm weather climate, then you likely spend a
good amount of time in the sun. If you live is a cold weather
climate, then you still may spend a lot of time outside enjoying
the sun. It does not really matter because if you get too much
sun exposure, you are at greater risk for getting skin cancer.
Now remember that some studies indicate that a limited amount
of sunlight is actually good for you and may help you prevent
certain cancers (lung, colon, breast and prostate), diabetes,
multiple sclerosis and asthma. But like most things in life you
can get too much of a good thing and that definitely applies to
sun exposure. Here are few simple steps to help you prevent skin
cancer.
If you will be out I the sun for an extended period of time, you
should wear a hat with two to three-inch brim all around. You
should also wear a long sleeved shirt and pants. For better
protection you should stick to fabrics that are tightly woven.
Denim is a good example. This is better that fabrics that are
loosely woven cotton or linen. Some studies indicate that
wearing a hat and protective clothing is more effective than
using a sunscreen according to recent studies. Other studies
indicate that this is more important for those individuals that
have fair skin, are easily burned, have 100 moles and who have
a history of skin cancer either self or family. You should also
look to buy clothing that is made from sun-protective fabrics.
You may also want to consider buying a laundry additive that
has a UV protectant that can be used to wash clothes with.

3. One of the most important things that you can do is to use
sunscreen. You should properly apply sunscreen about 15 to 30
minutes before going outdoors. Use sunscreen with a high SPF
to cover any exposed areas of skin. You also need to use
sunscreen on cloudy days because a good portion of UV rays
still get through the clouds. You also need to use a lip balm with
sunscreen and ensure you reapply the sunscreen and lip balm
about every two hours.
You should also try to avoid exposure to the sun for time periods
in excess of 20 minutes. You should also stay out of the sun
during its peak hours of strength which are normally from 10 am
to 4 pm.
You can also protect yourself from skin cancer by eating the
right foods. Eat plenty of chlorella, goji berries, raspberries,
blackberries, blueberries, astaxanthin, carrots and nutrient-rich
super foods to boost your skin's natural UV protection. Some
studies indicate that it requires about 30 days of eating these
foods to help boost your natural UV protection. You also should
consider adding Add to your diet that are rich in carotenoids
such as tomatoes, peaches, broccoli, watermelons and spinach.
Carotenoids are powerful antioxidants and protect against the
sun's damaging UV rays.

4. You should also do a monthly skin exam. Skin cancer can
develop in areas that are not getting any sun so you need to
check your entire body. You should look for moles, spots or
freckles that are asymmetric, have an irregular border, variation
in color and are more than 6 millimeters (the size of a pencil
eraser). If you have anything that resembles any of these
symptoms or anything else that worries you, you should discuss
these with your doctor.
Some medications can also make your skin more susceptible to
skin damage. So read the directions and warnings of your
medications very carefully to ensure that they will not increase
your risk of skin damage due to the sun.
