  • Wear a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and other protective clothing outdoors.
  
  • Find shade, especially during midday hours.
  
  • Use broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 15 or higher regularly and reapply as directed. Sunscreen is most effective when used with other sun protection (hats, sunglasses, protective clothing, shade).
  
  • Avoid sunbathing and indoor tanning.
  
  The Guide to Community Preventive recommends community-wide programs that combine education, mass media campaigns, and policy changes to increase skin protection.
