Can skin cancer be prevented?

There are things we can do to lower our chances of getting skin cancer.  These things are:

• Wear sunscreen with SPF 15 or greater
• Apply sunscreen 30-45 minutes before going outside
• Reapply sunscreen every two to three hours
• Stay in the shade as much as possible
• Wear long pants and long-sleeve shirts to protect skin from the sun
• Wear sun glasses
• Avoid the sun during the hottest parts of the day (This is when the UV rays are the strongest)
• Avoid tanning beds
