How your eyes can give you away
You can always tell when someone returns from a ski trip--they have that raccoon look, a sunburned face around the outline of ski goggles.
The high altitude sun exposure is especially dangerous, and there are ways of protecting your skin from UV rays and reduce your risk of melanoma:
- wear a sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher
- use waterproof sunscreen
- reapply sunscreen often, usually every two hours
- cover all exposed areas
- "broad spectrum" protects against both UV-A and UV-B rays
- wear wrap-around sunglasses to protect your eyes
- apply sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside
