  4. A Wash of Protection

    All the sunscreen in the world is only as good as its SPF rating and how long it's effective on your skin. However, clothes are a different story. What you wear can protect your skin against the sun's vicious ultraviolet (UV) rays. Of course, there are other factors to consider, such as the tightness of the weave, the weight, type of fiber, color and amount of skin the clothing cover.

  7. How to protect the scalp from skin cancer

    As summer heats up, we've learned to slather SPF 15 or higher all over our bodies and faces in an effort to prevent sun damage and skin cancer. We've also been told to recite our ABCs when checking for unusual moles: asymmetry, border irregularity and uneven color. Unfortunately, our scalps are often neglected. Sunscreen is transparent on skin, but who wants to go to work with greasy roots? How many people wear a hat during their lunch break? And who can see a mole on top of her own head?
