The Health Risk: See Spot. See Spot sun. See Spot's liver spots. In a study from the University of Texas, only 14 percent of men covered all exposed areas of skin, while 69 percent of women did. "You should apply enough [sunscreen] to coat your sun-exposed areas evenly without leaving any residue," says David J. Leffell, M.D., professor of dermatology and surgery at the Yale School of Medicine. And ditch the outdated trucker hat, too. "A cap does not protect the ears, and we see many skin cancers specifically on the top of the ears," says Leffell. Just to be safe: Why not take a cocktail break (in the shade) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.? You may not only avoid getting skin cancer but also save money on Botox in a few years.
