How can I avoid sun spots on my face and body when out in the sun?

Question

I used to work in roof construction and in the summer I ended up getting a few sun spots on my forehead and my arms. I hate it because the ones on my head look like tattoo and although they are not that big they take away from my look.

How can I avoid them in the future and is there a way to get rid of them??

Answer 1

covering your skin is recommended by most doctors, even brief exposure to the sun can greatly increase your chanches of melanoma

Answer 2

Try suncreen, a sun hat, even an umbrella
