While regular skin examinations are essential, reducing your risk of skin cancer also involves protective measures: - Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. - Wear protective clothing, including hats and sunglasses. - Seek shade during peak sun hours (10 a.m. to 4 p.m.). - Avoid tanning beds and artificial tanning devices. - Be aware of your skin and perform regular self-examinations.
