Skin Cancer Prevention Tips

In the U.S. today, roughly 5 million people are diagnosed with skin cancer each year. This makes skin cancer the most common cancer in the U.S. with one in every 5 people likely to develop skin cancer at some point in their lives. This is truly unfortunate because almost 90 percent of all skin cancers are preventable. By taking appropriate precautions and being proactive in skin cancer prevention, the occurrence of skin cancer can be reduced significantly. In an effort to raise awareness regarding skin cancer, and melanoma in particular, May has been designated Melanoma Awareness Month. As a result, Skin Deep Skin Care Center would like to highlight important skin cancer prevention efforts that everyone should perform for optimal skin health. And for those who have sun-damaged skin, we would also like to let you know about a number of skincare services designed to enhance your beauty and skin’s youthfulness.

Skin Cancer Prevention – Proven Best Practices

By far, skin cancer prevention is best achieved by protecting your skin from the sun’s UV rays When exposed to intense UV light, cellular injury occurs resulting in premature aging as well as damage to cellular DNA. These effects increase the risk of skin cancer while also making it much more likely that sun-damaged skin will result. However, you can reduce your chances of these skin conditions by taking some basic steps to protect your skin from the sun. First and foremost, making sure you use sunscreen that is water-resistant and has at least a 30+ spf protection level is essential. Sunscreen should be worn at all times during the day. Why?

Because even on a cloudy day, your skin is still exposed to 80% of the power of the sun’s rays. Likewise, sunscreen should be applied every 2 hours as well as after swimming or sweating. This is especially important for children and teens whose risk for melanoma doubles with every severe sunburn.

While sunscreen is important, other activities should also be considered with skin cancer prevention efforts. Protective clothing, wide-brimmed hats, and sunglasses are examples of additional measures that should be employed. And seeking shade as much as possible is similarly recommended, especially in Florida where the summer sun is particularly intense. By performing these simple measures, you can best avoid sun-damaged skin while enjoying the best in skin cancer prevention.

The Best Services for Treating Sun-Damaged Skin

While skin cancer prevention is important, preventing and managing sun-damaged skin is also essential. The sun can cause a number of problems for your skin resulting in premature wrinkles, brown spots, loose skin, and even blotchiness. While protections to prevent “photo-aging” of the skin is the best choice, there are additional measures you can take to manage sun-damaged skin areas. At Skin Deep Skin Care Center, we offer an array of these services. Naturally, making sure your skin stays moisturized, clean, and free of debris is important for preserving healthy skin.
