Wearing sunscreen on a daily basis helps protect your skin and can lower the risk of Skin Cancer. Dermatologist recommend using a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 which can block up to 97 percent of the sun's Ultraviolet Radiation. Even on cloudy days up to 80 percent of Ultraviolet Rays can still pierce through.

 Skin Cancer is the most common Cancer in the United States. Wearing sunscreen is not just about preventing sunburn but protecting your skin from long term damage. The benefits of sunscreen also include helping to maintain your skin's elasticity as well as preventing hyper pigmentation. 

 Dr. David Dietman is a local dermatologist who has treated patients for over 50 years. He says "Sun exposure a little bit at a time, over time causes wrinkling. Because the elastic fibers are broken by the rays of the sun and people wrinkle. Now also if there is a genetic endowment to where you're able to develop skin cancer, then it might develop.

Signs of skin cancer include a growth or sore that does not heal, changes to an existing mole, or moles that itch, bleed, crust or change color.
