Before you buy: Uderstadig suscree ratigs There are two types of UV rays: UVB ad UVA. Both ca harm your ski.

Applyig a suscree with a SPF of 15, for example, meas that it will take 15 times loger for your ski to begi to bur tha it would without suscree. However, suscrees should ot be used to icrease the time you sped i itese sulight. SPF measures protectio from subur caused maily by UVB rays, but it does ot adequately measure how well a suscree protects from ski agig ad other effects caused primarily by UVA rays. For the best protectio, look for the followig o suscree labels: Broad spectrum: This meas that the suscree provides protectio agaist both UVA ad UVB rays. Water resistat: This specifies how log the applied suscree will last durig swimmig or sweatig (either 40 or 80 miutes, based o testig). Photostable: This describes UV protectio that wo t break dow whe exposed to strog UV rays; suscrees that iclude HELIOPLEX ad PURESCREEN techologies provide log-lastig, photostable protectio.

Recogizig ski cacers ACTINIC KERATOSIS A commo type of su-related ski damage is actiic keratosis, also kow as solar keratosis. Actiic keratosis lesios ca vary i color from flesh toe to reddish brow. They appear as rough, scaly spots, typically o ski exposed to the su. It is importat to recogize that these lesios have the potetial to progress ito squamous cell carcioma. I additio, actiic keratosis is a idicatio of advaced su damage ad the risk of other types of ski cacers. Ayoe with a actiic keratosis lesio should be uder a dermatologist s care. The America Cacer Society recommeds that your doctor regularly track areas of ski with such lesios for chages that could idicate cacer. BASAL CELL CARCINOMA The majority of ski cacers are basal cell carciomas, typically foud o areas exposed to the su, such as the head ad eck. If foud ad treated, these slowgrowig cacers rarely spread to other parts of the body. If left utreated, however, a basal cell carcioma may grow ito earby tissue ad boe. Oce treated, a basal cell carcioma may retur. For this reaso, those who have these cacers treated should perform frequet self-exams ad have a dermatologist examie them regularly. Basal cell carciomas ofte appear as flat, firm, pale areas or as small, raised, pik or red, traslucet, shiy, waxy areas that may bleed after mior ijury. ATYPICAL MOLE: DYSPLASTIC NEVI This uusual type of beig mole ca sometimes resemble melaoma. While they are ot cacerous, if you have 4 or more atypical moles, have had melaoma i the past, or have a first-degree relative who has had melaoma, you may be at a icreased risk of melaoma. SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA Squamous cell carcioma accouts for about 20% of ski cacers. It most ofte appears o ski that receives frequet su exposure, such as the face, ears, eck, ad hads. These carciomas are more likely to spread to lymph odes or to more distat parts of the body compared with basal cell carciomas. Squamous cell carciomas may appear as growig lumps, ofte with a rough surface, or as flat, reddish patches that grow slowly. MELANOMA Melaoma is the most serious form of ski cacer. However, melaoma is almost always curable i its early stages. I most cases, melaoma starts as a flat, darkcolored spot that looks like a freckle. The edges are irregular ad the whole spot is usually asymmetrical. There are ofte 2 or more colors withi the spot (gray, red, black, ad brow mixtures). Early detectio ca save your life Most moles are harmless, but it is importat to recogize chages i a mole that ca suggest that a melaoma may be developig. ABNORMAL MOLE A is for asymmetrical: Oe half of the mole does ot match the other. B is for border: The mole has a irregular, ragged, or blurred edge. C is for color: The mole is varied from oe area to aother; has shades of ta, brow, or black; ad is sometimes blue, red, or white. D is for diameter: The mole is wider tha a quarter ich or is smaller but growig.
