To protect your skin:

• 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.
