Thread: How to Protect Your Skin From the Sun

Sorry, I post this thread in the wrong place. Please delete it for me.
Thanks

Green tea can help block the sun whether you drink it or apply it directly to the skin.  Whenever you are going out for some sun, mix up green tea in a spray bottle and before you go outside spray it on your face or body.

Tips on preventing skin cancer

* Avoid the sun, especially from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when the sun's rays are the strongest.
* Don't use tanning booths or sunlamps.
* Wear protective clothing and a hat whenever you go outside. Remember that you are often exposed to the sun while driving, especially your hands and arms.
* Wear sunglasses that wrap and are rated to block at least 99% of UVA sunlight.
* Check your skin yourself every month for signs of skin cancer.
* If you see an area on your skin that looks unusual, ask your family doctor about it.


What's the best way to do a skin self-examination?
Head
The best way is to use a full-length mirror and a hand-held mirror to check every inch of your skin.

1. First, you need to learn where your birthmarks, moles and blemishes are and what they usually look like. Check for anything new, such as a change in the size, texture or color of a mole, or a sore that doesn't heal.

Mirror
2. Look at the front and back of your body in the mirror, then raise your arms and look at the left and right sides.

3. Bend your elbows and look carefully at your palms and forearms, including the undersides, and your upper arms.

4. Check the back and front of your legs.

5. Look between your buttocks and around your genital area.

Sitting
6. Sit and closely examine your feet, including the bottoms of your feet and the spaces between your toes.

7. Look at your face, neck and scalp. You may want to use a comb or a blow dryer to move hair so that you can see better.

By checking yourself regularly, you'll get familiar with what's normal for you. If you find anything unusual, see your doctor. The earlier skin cancer is found, the better.

What does a normal mole look like?
A normal mole is solid tan, brown, dark brown or flesh colored. Its edges are well-defined. It's usually smaller than 1/4 inch in diameter and has a round or oval shape. It should be flat or dome-like.

Informative tips for skin..The point which I want to add is regarding to clothes.I think that one should wear protective clothing during peak times of the day. Clothes should have tight weaves. Cotton T-shirts are only equivalent to a SPF-6 lotion.

Before my skin was oily but when I read this forum so I act upon of your advice so now I am
better feel of before ..............Thanks.......!

We use a sunscreen with an SPF 45 and a good Bimini. Before we got the Bimini, we sailed for a few hours before we were exhausted. With a good Bimini, we will all day.
