8. Drink Coffee

It may sound strange, but a few cups of coffee could significantly reduce your risk of certain skin cancers. For each daily cup of coffee you drink, you can also enjoy a 5% drop in your risk of developing non-melanoma skin cancer down the road. Although experts aren’t quite sure what it is about coffee, some suspect that the natural antioxidants are responsible for protecting the skin, while others point to the caffeine (recent studies haven’t found the same drastic results in decaf drinkers). However, coffee is certainly no substitute for sunscreen.
