Tips for Men

These tips are great for men who want to protect themselves form skin cancer, for example the one from Florida who comented on one of my previous posts.

Buy a hat. Not a baseball cap, but a hat with a brim, such as a cowboy, a bucket, or an outback. Wear it when you're outdoors for extended periods. Especially if you're balding or thinning on top.
Find a lip balm with an SPF of 15 and use it regularly.
Stop smoking.
Keep a bottle of sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher in the glove compartment of your car. It will cut down on your trucker's tan — as will keeping your arm from dangling outside the window as you drive.
Ask your barber if he sees any moles or bumps on your scalp next time you go in for a trim. If he or she does, go to a dermatologist and have them checked out.
