TIPS TO PROTECT YOURSELF IN THE SUN

1. Use sunscreens that provide broad spectrum sun protection against UVA sunlight, the type more closely correlated with melanoma and photoaging.

2.Use a sunscreen with at least an SPF of 30 and remember this number only refers to protection against UVB type sunlight related to development of basal and squamous cell cancers.

3. Frequent application is key to receiving adequate protection, every two hours if performing tasks that result in significant sweating or prolonged water exposure.
