Are there any ways to prevent skin cancer?

Zo Asked: Are there any ways to prevent skin cancer?

I know this sounds like a stupid question. But it's just me being paranoid. I used to go tanning a lot until about a month ago because I am usually very pale and me going tanning a lot just puts a nice glow in my skin. But then I found out that skin cancer has happened a lot in my family, so I was just wondering if there is a way to make my skin healthy again becasue tanning is so bad for you. thank you! all answers are appreciated!
