What helps
Sun protection prevents sunburn, pigmentation, early ageing and skin cancer. It works only if you use it every day, so the best sunscreen is one you like wearing.
Choose broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, apply a generous layer in the morning, and reapply every two hours outdoors or after swimming. Hats, shade and the time of day help too.
See a dermatologist for a spot that is new, changing, bleeding or not healing, and for regular skin checks if you have many moles or have had skin cancer.
