WEBVTT 00:18.980 --> 00:20.813 Hi , I'm H . Longoria from Naval 00:20.813 --> 00:23.036 Medical Forces atlantic and I'm here to 00:23.036 --> 00:25.202 talk about the importance of sunscreen 00:25.202 --> 00:27.369 and the protection against UV A and UV 00:27.369 --> 00:29.480 B rays . Nearly 20 Americans die from 00:29.480 --> 00:31.536 melanoma each day and it's estimated 00:31.536 --> 00:33.480 that more than 7000 deaths will be 00:33.480 --> 00:35.813 attributed to skin cancer in 2022 alone . 00:35.813 --> 00:37.869 However , it is something we can all 00:37.869 --> 00:40.091 prevent with some thoughtful steps like 00:40.091 --> 00:42.258 limiting exposure to the sun , wearing 00:42.258 --> 00:44.690 proper clothing and using sunscreen . A 00:44.690 --> 00:47.100 broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 00:47.110 --> 00:49.680 values over 50 , protect against both 00:49.680 --> 00:52.740 UVA and UVB rays applying sunscreen to 00:52.740 --> 00:55.760 all uncovered areas is also important 00:55.770 --> 00:58.040 as well as reapplying every two hours 00:58.050 --> 01:00.560 or more as needed , especially if you 01:00.560 --> 01:02.750 are swimming or sweating . Remember 01:02.750 --> 01:04.806 that not all sunscreens are equal in 01:04.806 --> 01:07.050 effect , be weary , waterproof and 01:07.050 --> 01:09.272 sweat proof claims . People of all skin 01:09.272 --> 01:11.217 colors are potentially at risk for 01:11.217 --> 01:13.383 sunburn and other harmful UV effects . 01:13.383 --> 01:15.870 But people with pale skin , blond or 01:15.870 --> 01:18.037 light brown hair , those who have been 01:18.037 --> 01:20.203 treated for skin cancer and those with 01:20.203 --> 01:22.370 a family history of skin cancer should 01:22.370 --> 01:24.426 be especially careful whether we are 01:24.426 --> 01:26.592 enjoying a sunny day on a sailboat are 01:26.592 --> 01:28.370 working on the deck of a ship . 01:28.370 --> 01:30.592 Sunscreen is a valuable tool to keep us 01:30.592 --> 01:30.220 healthy and safe
