MONTHLY FIT TIP… SUN SAFETY THIS SUMMER…

Did you know… •Skin cancer is the most common of all types of cancers, with more cases diagnosed each year than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancers combined. •The National Cancer Institute estimates there were more than 1 million new cases of skin cancer diagnosed in 2010. •Melanoma is only one type of skin cancer, accounting for less than 5% of all cancer deaths but causes the greatest number of skin cancer deaths. •Melanoma is more than 10 times more common in whites than in African Americans. It is slightly more widely found in men than in women.

When it comes to using sunscreen, keep these tips in mind: •Try to put on sunscreen before you go outside to get full protection. And remember to reapply every 2 hours, more frequently if you are in water. •Always use a sunscreen with sun protection factor (SPF) 15 or higher. The higher the SPF number, the higher the protection. •Put a thicker layer of sunscreen on the most exposed body parts: arms, legs, neck, back and face. •Protect your lips with sunscreen lip balm. •Use a spray sunscreen to coat your scalp/head! •Avoid using sunscreen on babies younger than six months—use hats, clothing and shade for protection. •Think about using cosmetics that contain sunscreen. Even these should be at least SPF 15. •Choose a broad spectrum of products that guard against the sun's ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays.

What does a sunscreen's SPF rating mean? The SPF number lets you know the level of protection from UV rays the sunscreen offers compared to not wearing any at all. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends using a water-resistant sunscreen of at least SPF 30 and re-applying every two hours and after swimming or sweating for more complete protection.
