Sunscreen: Exposure to the sun can increase the risk for skin cancer later on. Anyone spending a significant amount of time in the sun would benefit from applying sunscreen with the highest SPF (sun protection factor) available, preferably above SPF30. This also can protect against sun tanning, and allows skin to return to its non-sun-exposed color naturally.
