Key Takeaways

  • Wearing sunscreen every day and reapplying often is one of the easiest ways to help protect your skin from UV damage, even when it’s cloudy or you’re just hanging outside for a bit. 
  • Smart sun habits like seeking shade, avoiding peak UV hours, and wearing protective clothing add another layer of protection when you’re spending time outdoors. 
  • Keeping an eye on your skin and checking for new or changing spots helps you catch anything unusual early, which is an important part of overall skin awareness. 
  • Tanning beds and intentional tanning raise your risk of skin damage, so steering clear of them and sticking to sun-safe routines is the better move for your skin long term.
