SPF and avoidance: Make sure that you use sunscreen that is broad spectrum (UVA and UVB). Use at least an SPF of 30. You can also wear clothing that is designed to provide protection against UVA/UVB such as Coolibar. Important also to avoid the sun during peak hours and to reapply sunscreen during the day. Visit skincancer.org for more info on sunscreens.
