One of the most common kinds of cancer is that of the skin and it mostly occurs due to over-exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet rays. So, make sure to take steps to protect yourself from the sun.

This means that you should stay in shade as much as possible. If you are outdoors, make sure to use sunglasses and an umbrella or a broad-rimmed hat. Make sure to apply a generous amount of sunscreen 30 minutes before walking out in the sun.

The summer midday sun is the hottest. So, try to avoid going out in the sun between 11 am to 3pm. Cover your skin as much as possible and wear tightly woven, loose-fitting clothes in bright or light colors.
