It is a fact that skin cancer is one of the most preventable forms of cancer. However, the real question is, are you doing anything to avoid or prevent skin cancer in your daily life? From a young age, you have been told to put on sunscreen before going to the pool, the beach, or before doing any prolonged outdoor activity. That was good advice, turns out it was the least you could do to prevent skin cancer. It might sound like overkill, but these days there’s really no excuse not to put on a bit of sunscreen every day you go out, especially given the fear skin cancer statistics become.
What can you do to avoid or prevent skin cancer?
More than 95,000 people are expected to be diagnosed with melanoma in 2019 and more than 7,000 are expected to die from it, with men accounting for well over half of those deaths. That doesn’t mean you have to pull out the big tube of sunscreen and spend 10 minutes covering your body every morning. There’s actually one very simple thing you can do to prevent skin cancer: use moisturizer with sunscreen.
Start with high quality skin care
Fortunately, high-quality men’s skincare companies use variable-strength (SPF) sunscreens as an ingredient in moisturizers. Tiege Hanley is a men’s skincare company that actually makes two different moisturizers, an AM (or morning) moisturizer with SPF 20 and a PM (or evening) moisturizer without sunscreen. AM moisturizer can be applied very quickly when going out and offers more benefits than just sunscreen to prevent skin cancer. Your skin will also be softer and healthier.
Tiege Hanley sells skin care products that help prevent skin cancer, which is quite unique in the men’s skin care market. You can buy individual products from other brands, but sometimes it’s hard to tell if they’ll work well together. Sometimes they can even have a negative reaction and cause rashes. It can get quite overwhelming and frustrating, and like most things in life, it’s best to keep it simple.
Improve your skincare routine
If you don’t wash your face in the morning, you probably should. Tiege Hanley’s face wash is awesome. It doesn’t go crazy frothy or make a mess. Once you’ve done that, take two seconds to put on the AM moisturizer, it’s another simple step to help avoid skin cancer and you’re good to go. Go out with some peace of mind.
