Skin cancer - Health & Wellbeing: "Preventing skin cancer by Peter Lavelle
To minimise your chance of getting skin cancer:
avoid the sun in the middle of the day (10 am to 3 pm) as much as possible (remember that snow, sand and water reflect sunlight onto skin, which is just as damaging as direct sun exposure)
stay in the shade whenever possible
wear protective clothing – a wide-brimmed hat and cover-up clothing, such as long-sleeved shirts and trousers (or at least knee-length shorts)
apply SPF 30+, broad-spectrum sunscreen to the skin. Apply it 20 minutes or so before going outside and reapply every two hours whilst in the sun."
