Take Action!

Cover up with Long Sleeves, a Hat, and Sunglasses.

Wear a long-sleeved shirt and long pants or a long skirt. A hat with a wide brim can protect your face and neck.

The skin around your eyes is very sensitive. Wear wrap-around sunglasses to protect your eyes and your skin from sun damage.

Check your Skin Regularly.

Learn how to do a skin self-exam. Look for new growths or other changes. Report any changes to your doctor or nurse.
