There are several effective strategies to minimize UV radiation exposure and reduce the risk of skin cancer:
Use Sunscreen: Apply broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Wear Protective Clothing: Use long-sleeved shirts, pants, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses. Seek Shade: Stay under shade during peak UV radiation hours, typically between 10 AM and 4 PM. Avoid Tanning Beds: The artificial UV radiation from tanning beds significantly increases the risk of skin cancer. Conduct Regular Skin Checks: Regularly examine your skin for any new or unusual moles or spots and consult a dermatologist for any concerns.
