How do you keep your skin safe in between skin checks?

The Cancer Council of Australia recommends the following:

– Slip on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.

– Slop on broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30 (or higher) sunscreen.

– Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. Sunscreen should never be used to extend the time you spend in the sun.

– Slap on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears.

– Seek shade.

– Slide on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards.

We’ve all heard this before – and for good reason. It’s really effective. Most of us can manage to do all of these things regularly. It’s a really great way to stay safe and healthy, and it’s not too difficult.

It is also smart to check the UV index before you go out, check the link below to get an app to help with this.

So really it’s not too difficult to keep yourself safe in the sun and it’s well worth your while.
