@Melanie – I’m so glad you like it .

@Debbie – That’s a great tip. I always tell my boys that but they seem to not want to listen to that piece of advice. I’m gonna have to show it to them online so they’ll believe me – LOL.

@Karla – I really wanted others to know these things. The best thing to do is to prevent problems.

@Cherrie – Those sun jackets are great. There are some sunscreens that are made with non toxic. Each country has the list of the best sunscreens. They just came out with a list here in Brazil. Thankfully the ones that I usually use were listed as the best.

Valuable tips to keep in mind. Another one I would add is for people to pay attention with the kind of sunscreen or sunblock they use. Most if not all have toxic chemicals in them. I bought a very thin sunjacket from Coolibar last year for each of us and that’s what we’ve been using together with hats and sunglasses most of the time.

Wow what a comprehensive guide. Did you know 90% of people use too little sunscreen when they apply it?

You really need to be slathered up to get the full benefit of the SPF.

Thanks for such a great guide.

Hi Girish,
The moles are dangerous because they can become the beginning of skin cancer. That’s why we have to have them checked out just to be sure they don’t turn into that and if they do to have them removed.
Writing about things that can prevent big problems like this is one of my passions
Blessings always ♥,
Eren

Eren, summer is fast approaching in our country and I live in a city where the temperature boils to 45 degree Celsius. I think these tips are helpful to adults too who are so unfortunate with jobs to be done in the scorching sun. Thanks for your caring effort to save fellow humans. I have a query on the last tip about moles. What is it all about? Why should we take care of it.

Thanks!

Hi Maria – so glad you stopped by. Yes skin cancer is terrible. My mom’s best friend died of it. Very sad and that has motivated me to tell people what to do to prevent this from happening.
Thanks for your kind words about my blog
All the best,
Eren

These are really great points and very detailed. I was shocked at the amount of people diagnosed with skin cancer every year. It’s sad. Thanks for this post. I love your blog.
