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 min
Moisturizer 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.

Monthly 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.
