tablespoons. You should apply
sunscreen about 30 minutes
before you go outside. If you
are active, whether in the
water or out, you should also
reapply sunscreen often.
There are sunscreens designed
to be “water-resistant” or
“sweat-resistant.” These
usually specify the length of
time they are effective. In
addition to putting on
sunscreen, here are a few
other ways to protect yourself
from the sun’s rays:
Try to stay out of the sun
during the hottest parts of
the day. Typically, this is
between 10 AM and 4 PM.
Cover up your skin as
much as possible. This
includes wearing a
brimmed hat and
sunglasses.
Talk to your healthcare
provider about getting a
skin exam by a
professional every year.
Sunscreen is important for skin
cancer prevention. The use of
sunscreen every day can help
prevent skin cancer and signs
of early aging caused by the
sun.

Now that it is getting warmer
outside, you may start thinking
about wearing sunscreen. Did
you know that you should
wear sunscreen every day you
are outside? That includes
even in the middle of winter.
Sunscreen is important for
protection from sunburn, early
aging and skin cancer. It works
by protecting you from the
ultraviolet rays that come from
the sun. Specifically it protects
the skin from two different
types of radiation: UVA and
UVB. UVA or Ultraviolet A is
the type of ray that causes the
skin to age and creates lasting
skin damage. UVB or
Ultraviolet B rays cause
sunburns. They both can
cause skin cancer. When you
see a sunscreen that is labeled
“broad spectrum,” it means
that the sunscreen protects
from both UVA and UVB rays.
When selecting a sunscreen,
the Skin Cancer Foundation
and the American Cancer
Society recommend an SPF of
30 or higher. The SPF, or Sun
Protection Factor, is a measure
of how long the skin can be in
the sun before it starts to burn.
The higher the number, the
greater the protection. For
example, an SPF of 45 means
that you would be able to stay
outside in the sun 45 times
longer without getting burned.
However, sunscreens lose their
effectiveness so you need to
reapply every 2 hours. The
recommendation is for the
application of about 1 ounce of
sunscreen for the average
person. This is about 2
