While people with lighter skin are more susceptible to sunburn and to skin cancer, UV exposure can raise your skin cancer risk even without causing a sunburn. Use these tips to keep your skin safe, every time you head outdoors this summer.
- Apply sunscreen 30 minutes before sun exposure.
- Reapply every two hours.
- Wear a hat or visor to protect your face from the sun.
- Stay hydrated.
- Limit exposure to the sun, especially from 10am–4pm, when the sun’s rays are the strongest.
- When a sunburn is severe, accompanied by a headache, chills, or a fever, seek medical help right away.
