 Here's another Thrive Tip from Kaiser Permanente and Fox 12. Here in the Northwest, we have some of the highest rates of melanoma in the country, a fact that can be surprising for some given our climate. Here in the Northwest, we often forget to put sunscreen on, especially on cloudy and cool days. And if you're outside for a long period of time getting sun, that UV light will build up and you can get a sunburn and increase your chances of getting a melanoma. Or any other kind of skin cancer. It's really important to wear sunscreen every single day on your face, neck, hands and forearms, any place where you're getting exposed on a regular basis. It's really important to wear enough sunscreen. So an average adult will need an ounce of sunscreen, which is about the size of a shot glass. Really important to reapply every two hours or every time that you're getting in and out of the water because it will wear off. Sunscreens expire and then they don't work as well. So it is important to pay attention to the expiration date. Remember to choose a broad spectrum sunscreen, wear protective clothing and limit direct sun exposure during peak hours.
