Tips for Preventing Skin Cancer
For most Texas residents, spending a lot of time in the sun is simply a part of everyday life. However, if the skin is exposed to the sun’s UV rays for extended periods of time, it can lead to serious damage. In the worst case scenario, overexposure to the sun can lead to skin cancer. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, but its immediate visibility fortunately makes it one of the least dangerous.
Even if you do not develop skin cancer, exposure to the sun can cause you to suffer from brown spots, freckles, and wrinkles. If you need help with any of these common skin problems, contact the skin care experts of the Houston medical spa Dermagenix at 713-662-3376 today to speak to an experienced dermatologist.

- Wearing protective clothing when outdoors (e.g., hats)
- Wearing sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays
- Reapplying sunscreen frequently
- Avoiding the use of tobacco products
These are just of the preventive measures that an individual can take to protect the skin against developing skin cancer.
