Summer Skin Care Adults who use sunscreen daily can drastically reduce their risk of developing melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, according to new landmark research from Australia. Researchers found that daily application of an SPF 16 sunscreen to the head, neck, arms, and hands reduced melanoma incidence by half in study participants. Skin Cancer Fondation.Com When should I replace my sunscreen? Your sunscreen should be good for up to 3 years after purchased date. For best results, use it before the expiration date and store it in a cool place. What type of sunscreen should I use on my dog? Baby sunscreen, or one specifically made for dogs. Make sure it does not contain PABA, which is dangerous to dogs.

Create a balanced schedule. Analyze your schedule, responsibilities, and daily tasks. All work and no play is a recipe for burnout. Try to find a balance between work and family life, social activities and solitary pursuits, daily responsibilities and downtime. Dont over-commit yourself. Avoid scheduling things back-to-back or trying to fit too much into one day. All too often, we underestimate how long things will take. If you've got too much on your plate, distinguish between the "shoulds" and the "musts." Drop tasks that aren't truly necessary to the bottom of the list or eliminate them entirely. Try to leave earlier in the morning. Even 10-15 minutes can make the difference between frantically rushing to your desk and having time to ease into your day. Dont add to your stress levels by running late. Plan regular breaks. Make sure to take short breaks throughout the day to sit back and clear your mind. Also try to get away from your work area for lunch. Stepping away from work to briefly relax and recharge will help you be more, not less, productive. Helpguide.org
