Wear. Sunscreen.

Oh yeah this one. Plus, wear a hat. My hairstylist found skin cancer on my scalp a year or two ago and now I have a bald spot where they removed it because scalp skin doesn't have a whole lot of excess to close a wound. So cute. Thankfully, I can hide it, but it pretty much requires me to wear my hair up every day.

Eta: I feel like it should go without saying, but maybe doesn't, that I was incredibly lucky that it was basal cell, not melanoma. A big scar is one of the best outcomes I could've had.

My wife got it on top of her foot from wearing sandals for decades
