Apply sun protection every morning and check your moles regularly.
Micro-habits to get started
Small actions of a few minutes to start this habit:
Sunscreen before leaving
Apply SPF 30 or higher to face and neck before going out, cloudy days included.
Two fingers' worth for the face; keeping the bottle by your toothbrush helps you remember.
1 minMoisturizer after showering
Apply moisturizer while your skin is still damp to reduce water loss.
Glycerin, urea or ceramides: the cheap ones work just as well.
2 minMonthly ABCDE check
Look over your moles for asymmetry, irregular borders, uneven color, growing diameter or evolution.
Watch for the 'ugly duckling': the one that looks different from all the rest.
