Americans Not Wearing Enough Sunscreen
More Women Than Men Wear Sunscreen
A recent poll revealed that Americans are still not wearing enough sunscreen despite being aware of the dangers of skin cancer.
The survey, conducted by Consumer Reports, found that 31 percent of Americans do not wear sunscreen if their going to be out in the sun. Women report using sunscreen more than men, but admit that they do not routinely apply it to their children.
Here are some tips for keeping safe in the sun:
- Apply sunscreen whenever going outside into the sun
- Apply sunscreen at least 30 minutes before sun exposure
- Pay attention to the expiration dates on your sunscreen products
Don't rely on sunscreen alone to protect your skin. Wear tightly woven clothing and a broad-brimmed hat, limit sun time, and seek shade during the hottest hours of the day.
