Sun Protection
Prevention is better than cure.
By regularly and correctly using sun protection whenever outdoors, you can:
- Minimise freckling, wrinkling and ageing of the skin
- Minimise the risk of eye damage
- Avoid sunburn
- Reduce your skin cancer risk.
Protect yourself in five ways from skin cancer:
-
Slip on sun protective clothing that covers as much of your body as possible.
-
Slop on SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen liberally to dry skin, at least 20 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply every two hours when outdoors.
-
Slap on a broad brimmed hat that shades your face, neck and ears.
-
Seek shade
-
Slide on sunglasses.
