Indiana Evans: Melanoma is the most common form of life threatening cancer in 15 to 24 year olds.

Super: How to protect yourself from the sun?

Bobby Morley: And it’s not just about wearing sunscreen or sunnies. It’s about wearing protective clothing, standing in the shade and wearing a hat. So if you remember those five simple things to protect yourself from the sun you’re set for a great summer … if you’re going somewhere cool.

Super: When do you need to protect yourself from the sun?

Bobby Morley: And you need to protect yourself at all times, not just in summer or when you are at the beach. It could even be on a cloudy day …

Indiana Evans: for any amount of time. I always think about protecting myself in the sun when I go to the beach, or outdoor markets …

Bobby Morley: Or when I go rock climbing on the weekends and you guys should too.

Indiana Evans: Go rock climbing?

Bobby Morley: No. Protect yourself from the sun. Yeah.
