Work outdoors? Protect Yourself from the Sun
September 28, 2015
Working outside in the sun can cause serious skin problems, including burns and skin cancer. According to the Skin Cancer Foundation, exposure to the sun is the primary cause of skin cancer, and with more than 3.5 million skin cancer diagnoses a year, this disease should not be ignored.
One in five Americans will develop skin cancer at some point in their life, New York-based SCF states.
To help prevent skin damage when working outdoors, SCF recommends a variety of tips, including:
Be aware that light bounces off sand, water, concrete and other colored surfaces. If you work near any of these, take extra care in protecting your skin. Additionally, you can get a sunburn even in the winter months, as light bounces off snow. Wear sunscreen to help protect your skin year-round.
