While it is important to spend time outside, stay vital, and engage in physical activity, older adults need to practice certain sun safety protocols if they wish to prevent skin damage and ward off the risk of developing skin cancer.<\/p>\n<p>Skin cancer is the most common type of cancer, and as much as 90% of diagnosed skin cancers are caused by ultraviolet radiation. As aging adults have more sensitive skin, they are more susceptible to sustaining sunburns and skin damage, which can lead to the development of skin cancer.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reducing the Risk of Skin Cancer in Seniors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Avoid the hottest hours of the day<\/strong> \u2013 From 10 am to 4 pm, the harmful UV radiation is at its peak. Unless necessary, your Mom or Dad should refrain from going out during these times. Instead, they can opt to take a walk in the early morning or late evening.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Dress adequately<\/strong> \u2013 When going outdoors, your loved one might want to consider sun-safe clothes for better protection. This means wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants. Accessories such as sunglasses, a hat, or a parasol can help too. In addition to this, seniors should remember to seek shade wherever possible and always bring a bottle of water with them.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Apply sunscreen throughout the day<\/strong> \u2013 Your Mom or Dad must create a habit of applying sunscreen of at least SPF 30 before going outside. If they are about to stay out longer, sunscreen should be reapplied every two hours or so.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Practice medication safety<\/strong> \u2013 As some prescriptions may cause increased sun sensitivity, your loved one should consult with their doctor about their medications before engaging in any outdoor activities.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recognizing the signs of skin cancer<\/strong> \u2013 Additionally, your parent should also consider undergoing an annual skin cancer assessment. Early detection is paramount for treating skin cancer successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>The Best Senior Home Care Provider in Victoria, BC, is Comfort Keepers<sup>\u00ae<\/sup><\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Firstly, if you are concerned about the health and well-being of your aging loved ones, we can help with 24-hour care.
