beyond. As a result, the chances of
developing skin cancer increase as we
age. Not exactly what you want to think

In our senior years, there are steps you
can take to prevent damage and protect
yourself from prolonged exposure to the
sun’s harmful rays.

For extended outdoor activities SPF 30
is recommended. Apply sunscreen 20
minutes prior to going outside.
