Making Decisions to be Safe in the Sun
By Michelle Taylor

I believe by making the decision to use sunscreen, I can reduce harm to my skin from the sun.

I decide to use sunscreen for cancer prevention and to protect my mole from sun damage.

I decide to use sunscreen so I don’t get wrinkles from the sun.

I decide to use sunscreen to prevent skin discoloration.

My sister and I decide to use sunscreen instead of baby oil to protect our skin.

I decide to use sunscreen every 2 hours with my friends.

My friend and I decide to use a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or more so our skin can stay protected longer in the sun.

I believe that I can lower my risk of skin cancer by deciding to use sunscreen every time I am in the sun.

Summary Slide
I’ve decided to use sunscreen when I’m outside.
How about you?
Have you decided too?
