Common conclusions
You should start applying sunscreen to your entire body thirty minutes before going outside. You should reapply it every two hours or after swimming or excessive sweating. Sunscreen protects your skin from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.
Covering up your body is so important, so you should cover up with clothing, including a broad-brimmed hat and UV-blocking sunglasses. Your clothing shields you from harmful UV rays and remains one of the most effective forms of protection against sun damage and skin cancer. You should clothing that covers your arms and legs. Wear a hat with a wide brim to shade your face, head, ears and neck.
You should avoid tanning, because tanning damages your skin cells and speeds up visible signs of aging. Worst of all, tanning can lead to skin cancer. You should avoid tanning beds and sunlamps because both can cause serious long-term skin damage and contribute to skin cancer.
You should start taking vitamin C because it is an antioxidant that many dermatologists recommend including in your diet to help prevent skin cancer. You should also start taking vitamin E, A, zinc, selenium, beta carotene, omega-3 fatty acids because they are antioxidants too.
One diet that has been studied for its protective effects against skin cancer is the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in plants that contain many antioxidants. The Mediterranean diet recommends many cruciferous and green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, citrus fruits, fish, fresh herbs and olive oil.
