Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Before heading outdoors this summer, remember your ABCs: Apply sunscreen with a sun protection factor of 15 or higher. Be fashionable and safe by wearing a wide-brimmed hat to protect your face, neck and ears. Cover up and stay cool and protected in light-weight clothing. Don't stay outside for extended periods of time between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun's rays are the most intense.
