5 Ways to Avoid Getting Skin Cancer

Looking to get a tan the safe way? Here are five need-to-know tips.
Modern Times
Nearly 9,500 Americans are diagnosed with skin cancer every day. Here are a few ways to avoid becoming a statistic.

Get a Great Sunscreen

LUMASOL is a new, lightweight sunscreen that protects against UVB rays. Some people refuse to wear sunscreen as it feels gross or ruins skin. With this new formula, you can have incredible sun protection without compromising skin or your look.

Wear a Hat

The skin on our face is very sensitive, which means you'll want to make sure it's covered and protected. Plus, hats at the beach are cute, so it's the perfect accessory that keeps you protected.

Skip the Tanning Bed

The glow of tanning bed isn't worth. Radiation can be strong than sunrays, making it a terrible choice. It could cause cell mutations that can lead to cancer. If you need that tanned look in winter, go for a spray tan.

Visit the Dermatologist

If you spend a lot of time in the sun or have extra sensitive skin, you'll want to see your dermatologist every year.
He or she can examine your skin and reassure you that you're taking the right steps to protect yourself. Your dermatologist can also evaluate any new moles or spots and if you do need treatment, you can receive it right away.

Check Your Skin

When you're not seeing your dermatologist, examine your skin yourself. Look for anything new, like dark spots or sores. If you notice anything out of the ordinary or concerning, make an appointment with your dermatologist. Being on the lookout yourself will keep your body healthy.
You can make a few small changes to keep yourself safe and healthy. Follow these five tips and you'll hopefully avoid skin cancer forever.
