To protect your skin and prevent the risk of getting skin cancer you can use a series of methods. One method includes using sunscreen which works by blocking and absorbing UV rays through a series of physical and chemical particles. Another method is to avoid tanning and stay away from UV tanning beds. This is because when tanning you are exposing your skin to harmful UV rays which causes skin cell damage and leads to premature skin aging. An important method is to visit your Dermatologist at least once a year for a skin exam, especially if you’re more susceptible to skin cancer or other skin problems.
