It’s day two of your beach vacation, and you notice a hot, painful tenderness come over your skin. It can only mean one thing you forgot to reapply sunscreen and now you’re sunburned.
It happens to the best of us (no matter how diligent we are). Problem is, forgetting to reapply sunscreen can lead to more than an uncomfortable skin rash: Having five or more sunburns doubles your risk for melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, according to the Skin Cancer Foundation.
The best way to reduce your risk of sunburn and skin cancer? You guessed it wearing sunscreen (putting on a wide-brimmed hat and sun-safe clothing is a good idea, too). Using a sunscreen of at least SPF 15 every day can reduce your risk of developing squamous cell carcinoma by about 40% and melanoma 50%, per the Skin Cancer Foundation, but you should apply at least SPF 30 if you’ll be outdoors.
