Being sun smart is about looking after your skin all summer, not just during heatwaves or when you’re on holiday.
Follow these safety tips to protect your skin:
- spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm
- make sure you never burn
- cover up with suitable clothing and sunglasses
- take extra care with children
- Use a ‘high protection’ sunscreen of at least SPF 30 which also has high UVA protection
Don’t skimp on suncream! If it is applied too thinly, the amount of protection it gives is reduced. Make sure you apply plenty, and don’t forget the face, neck, ears and head.
