Many studies have supported the fact that Ultraviolet rays are the major cause of skin cancer. These rays harm or you can say mutate the DNA. There are many ways to prevent this cancer. Some of the natural way to protect yourself against it is:
Avoid wandering during the peak hours of the day, meaning 10 am to 4 pm. If this is not possible or your work profile doesn’t allow you to stay in office during these hours then you can simply cover yourself with proper clothing, using scarfs, caps, and umbrellas.
Besides, the most promising and dependable way to sun block is using the right sunscreen. Sunburns are the first stage of skin damage where the blood vessels and cells are damaged by strong sun rays. With constant exposure to the sun, it may further get worse. Discoloration of skin, dry or wrinkled skin are some other results of the damage. The skin may seem to be thicker but, actually, it may bruise easily.
It’s true that vitamin D is hardly found in food, and it is equally important for you but protecting your skin against any adverse effect is your job only. Then what should be done? In addition to aforementioned natural ways, you should opt for the right sunscreen based on your skin type and intensity of sun exposure. Doctors believe that an effectual sun block can eliminate high percentage of skin cancer possibilities.

Now its up to you whether you choose for gel-based sunscreen or oil based or any other type, but the crux is that you should make it a habit to wear or apply one like you do brush your teeth every day. Many people say that they do not get burns very often so what should they do! Well, in that case you can use sunscreen with lower SPF.
