Sunscreens

The American Academy of Dermatology states that sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers, including melanoma. You can have fun in the sun and still decrease your risk of skin cancer by protecting your skin from the sun. Sun protection with sunscreen is very important year round when outdoors or riding in a car.

The sun produces two types of rays that can damage your skin. Ultraviolet-A radiation (UVA) is primarily responsible for premature aging, wrinkles, and tanning, whereas ultraviolet-B (UVB) radiation can cause burning. Both types can severely damage the skin, causing skin cancer.
