Did you know that 5 to 7 sunburns during childhood increase the risk of developing skin cancer by 75% later in life? This alarming statistic highlights the critical importance of prevention and skin protection from an early age.

Sunburns are not just a matter of temporary discomfort; they damage skin cells and can have long-term consequences. Our skin, the first barrier against the environment, deserves special attention. To avoid burns and reduce the risk of future skin diseases, here are some essential tips:

1. **Apply Sunscreen:** Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. Apply it generously 30 minutes before sun exposure and reapply every two hours, or after swimming or sweating.

2. **Wear Protective Clothing:** Opt for long-sleeved shirts and lightweight pants made from breathable fabrics. Clothing can provide additional protection, especially on sunny days.

3. **Seek Shade:** During peak hours, typically between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m., stay in the shade as much as possible to reduce direct exposure to UV rays.

4. **Be Aware of Reflections:** Sunlight can reflect off water, sand, and other surfaces. Remember to protect yourself even in the shade or indoors if light filters through windows.

5. **Monitor Your Skin:** Regularly perform self-exams of your skin. Note any changes or irregularities and consult a dermatologist if anything concerns you.

Prevention is key to maintaining healthy skin. By adopting sun protection habits now, you significantly reduce the risk of future complications. Protect your skin and enjoy the sun safely!
