Protecting Your Skin: Expert Tips for Safe Sun Exposure and Skin Cancer Prevention

Dermatologist Dr. Shari Lipner stresses the importance of sunscreen in protecting against skin cancer and aging caused by UV rays. She recommends wearing sunscreen even on cloudy days, applying more than you think you need, and choosing a broad-spectrum formula with SPF above 30. Additionally, it’s important to monitor changes in your skin and see a dermatologist for an annual exam. Vitamin D can be obtained through diet and supplements rather than sun exposure. If a sunburn occurs, move to the shade and use cool compresses, moisturizer, and aloe for relief. Dr. Lipner urges vigilance and self-checks to spot warning signs of skin cancer early.
