We dive deep into the essential topic of skin cancer prevention and sun protection methods. As summer approaches, it's crucial to understand how to protect yourself from harmful UV rays that can lead to skin cancer, a condition that affects one in five Americans in their lifetime.
• One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime
• Seek shade between 10am-2pm when the sun's rays are strongest
• Wear protective clothing including lightweight long sleeves, pants, and wide-brimmed hats
• Choose broad-spectrum, SPF 30+ water-resistant sunscreen
• Apply one ounce (a shot glass amount) to cover an adult body
• Reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming/sweating
• SPF 30 blocks 97% of UVB rays, but no sunscreen blocks 100% of rays
• Babies under six months should avoid sun exposure completely
• For sunburns: stay indoors, keep skin moisturized, drink extra water, and don't pop blisters
