It\u2019s not too late! Resolving to take better care of your skin is a great place to start improving your health: after all, it is the body\u2019s largest organ.<\/h4>\n<p>Even though <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-information\/\">skin cance<\/a>r is the world\u2019s most common cancer \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-information\/skin-cancer-facts\/\">one in five Americans<\/a> will develop the disease \u2014 it is also highly preventable. Here are three steps to take in 2025 to help lower <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/risk-factors\/\">skin cancer risk<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-243\" src=\"http:\/\/skincancer.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/Seasons.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"788\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. Cover Up<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-prevention\/sun-protection\/sun-protective-clothing\/\">Clothing<\/a> is the best defense against skin cancer, and the more skin you can cover, the better. But not all clothing is created equally: tight-knit fabrics (like denim) and synthetic materials (like polyester) offer better sun protection than loosely-woven fabrics and natural materials. Wear a <a href=\"http:\/\/skincancer.org\/blog\/search-perfect-hat\/\">broad-brimmed hat<\/a> to protect your face, head and neck. To <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-prevention\/sun-protection\/eye-protection\/\">protect your eyes<\/a> and the sensitive skin around them, wear UV-blocking sunglasses.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-246\" src=\"http:\/\/skincancer.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/coverup-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"sunscreen_application\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. Use Sunscreen Every Day<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>One study has shown that daily use of an SPF (sun protection factor) 30 or higher <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-prevention\/sun-protection\/sunscreen\/\">sunscreen<\/a> reduces the risk of developing melanoma by 50 percent when used as directed. Sunscreens come in many formulas \u2014 including sprays, lotions and oils \u2014 so everyone can find one that fits their lifestyle. For extended outdoor activity, choose a water-resistant, broad spectrum formula with an SPF of 50 or higher. Apply one ounce of sunscreen to your body 30 minutes before going outside and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating. When sunscreen shopping, look for The Skin Cancer Foundation&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/skin-cancer-prevention\/seal-of-recommendation\/\">Seal of Recommendation<\/a>, \u00a0which assures consumers that a sun protection product performs as its label claims.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-248\" src=\"http:\/\/skincancer.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/SkinCheck-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Self_exam\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Check in With Your Skin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Skin cancers can be disfiguring and even deadly if allowed to progress. That\u2019s why <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/early-detection\/\">early detection<\/a> is so important \u2014 skin cancer is very treatable if detected in its early stages. The estimated five-year survival rate for patients whose melanoma is detected early is about 99 percent. The survival rate falls to 75 percent when the disease reaches the lymph nodes and 35 percent when the disease metastasizes to distant organs.<\/p>\n<p>The Skin Cancer Foundation recommends <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skincancer.org\/early-detection\/self-exams\/\">examining your skin<\/a> from head-to-toe monthly, and seeing a dermatologist once a year for a <a href=\"http:\/\/skincancer.org\/blog\/annual-skin-exam\/\">professional skin exam<\/a>. If you spot anything new, changing or unusual, make an appointment to see your doctor right away.<\/p>\n<p>With just a few adjustments to your lifestyle, you can help lower your skin cancer risk and slow down skin aging caused by the sun. From all of us here at The Skin Cancer Foundation, we wish you a happy and healthy 2025!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false,"gt_translate_keys":[{"key":"rendered","format":"html"}]},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have you decided on a New Year\u2019s Resolution yet?
