It's important with the summer coming up to take care of your skin. This doesn't mean you need to avoid the sun as much as possible, it's not all bad to get some sun.

Spend most of your time outdoors in the shade and cover areas that can easily be burned. Also it's a good idea to get checked regularly and if you have moles pay close attention to them. If they change in shape, size or color see your doctor.
