Through your diet, you can incorporate foods, vitamins, and nutrients with antioxidants that are essentially the equivalent of edible sunscreen.

Antioxidants create internal barriers when consumed through select foods like blueberries, carrots, watermelon, cauliflower, and green tea.

Choose clothing labeled with ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) values, aka fashion’s sunscreen. They block UVA and UVB rays, both of which can instigate skin cancers.

Look for clothes labeled at least UPF 15. Whether it’s a UPF-specific garment or not, the best sun protection comes from loose-fitting clothes made from tightly sewn fabric.

While any hat is better than no hat, other accessories like wide-brimmed hats provide the most shading of your hair, ears, and shoulders.
