The most important way to reduce the risk of developing skin cancer melanoma is to avoid unprotected exposure to sunlight and other ultraviolet light sources. The easiest way to avoid excessive exposure to ultraviolet light is to stay away from the sun and the shade whenever possible.
This is particularly important at midday when UV light is more intense.
* Protect yourself with clothing, including a shirt and a brimmed hat. In general, tightly woven fabrics offer the best protection against the sun. Sunglasses that offer good coverage, with a percentage of UV absorption of 99% to 100%, optimally protect the eyes and the skin area around them.
* The sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or more factor should be used in areas of skin exposed to sunlight, particularly when the sunlight is intense. People with fair skin and burn easily which should apply the sunscreen.
By applying the lotion, follow the instructions. To make this effective, it must be applied before sun exposure and use in all areas of skin exposed to sunlight. Many sunscreen lotions lose efficacy when a person sweats or anything, and be reapplied to offer maximum protection. You must use lotion though the day is hazy and the sky is overcast or low light, compact, and that ultraviolet light can pass through them.
*Do not use tanning booths. Excessive exposure to ultraviolet light may increase the risk of developing skin cancer.
