However, it is essential to stay protected from harmful UV rays when outdoors since skin cancer is the most common cancer. One in every three cancers diagnosed across the globe is skin cancer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Know the Risk of Skin Cancer<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Staying protected from sunburn is even more important in golden years than at any other age. Skin cancer is a result of a series of sun damage events that occur throughout the years. Since older adults have been more exposed to sun damage than younger generations, they should make their safety a priority.<\/p>\n<p>Although they last only a few days, sunburns have the potential to contribute to future skin cancer. When you take into consideration that retired seniors spend a lot of time outdoors and that they have more sensitive skin, it\u2019s easy to see why skin cancer may be a concern for older adults.<\/p>\n<p>However, there are some ways older adults can continue to enjoy the sunshine without worry.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Five Tips for Seniors Who Love to Safely Enjoy the Sun<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><strong>Tip #1. Staying inside during the hottest time of the day:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since the sun\u2019s rays are the most intense from 10 am to 4 pm, seniors should avoid going outside during these six hours. Also, seniors who easily dehydrate should plan outdoor activities for the morning or evening.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #2. Having the appropriate cover: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Staying in the shade at all times during the day can often be impossible, so it is important to wear a hat or parasol which can provide some protection. Seniors should also consider wearing long-sleeve shirts, long pants, and sunglasses when they are outside.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #3. Remember to use sunblock:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Seniors who will be spending a lot of time outdoors should always remember to use sunscreen that is at least SPF 30. It should be applied 20 minutes before leaving the house and reapplied every two hours.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #4. Practicing medication safety: <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Some medications have side effects that involve increased sun sensitivity, so seniors should consult with their health providers before participating in outdoor activities.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tip #5. Knowing the signs of skin cancer:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Early skin cancer detection can often be a lifesaver. Therefore, older adults should conduct an annual skin cancer assessment.<\/p>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Vancouver, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Many families prefer Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup> when arranging senior home care services for a loved one in or around Vancouver, British Columbia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
