    Be Sun Smart : SM

    Protect Yourself from the Sun


    Sun exposure is the most preventable risk factor for all skin cancers,
    including melanoma. You can have fun in the sun and decrease
    your risk of skin cancer. Here's how to Be Sun Smart SM:

    • Generously apply a water-resistant sunscreen with a Sun Protection


    Factor (SPF) of at least 15 that provides broad-spectrum protection from
    both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays to all exposed
    skin. Re-apply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after
    swimming or sweating. Look for the AAD SEAL OF RECOGNITIONTM
    on products that meet these criteria.
    • Wear protective clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a
    wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses, where possible.
    • Seek shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun's rays are
    strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If your shadow is shorter than
    you are, seek shade.
    • Protect children from sun exposure by playing in the shade, using
    protective clothing and applying sunscreen.
    • Use extra caution near water, snow and sand as they reflect the
    damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn.
    • Get vitamin D safely through a healthy diet that may include vitamin
    supplements. Don't seek the sun.
    • Avoid tanning beds. Ultraviolet light from the sun and tanning beds
    can cause skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you've
    been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning product, but
    continue to use sunscreen with it.
    • Check your birthday suit on your birthday. If you notice anything
    changing, growing or bleeding on your skin, see a dermatologist.
    Skin cancer is very treatable when caught early.
