We know that it's the damage done to your skin when you're young, that could lead to
skin cancer developing in later life. So it's important to follow these five simple steps...
Cover up your skin - Throw on a loose fitting long sleeved top and long shorts to protect
yourself from the sun. Slap on the suncream - Apply generous amounts
of suncream, of at least SPF30 and above, and make sure you re apply regularly.
Wear a hat or cap - Whether it's a baseball cap or a cowboy hat, doesn't matter, they're
all good at keeping the sun off your head, face, and neck.
Slip on the shades - Don't forget, your eyes need protection too! It's important your sunglasses
need to protect your from ultra violet radiation. Chill out in the shade - When the sun's rays
are strongest, between 11am and 3pm, head for the shade and give your skin a break.
We all need a bit of sun to stay healthy but its important to understand your body and
your skin type, in order to protect yourself and stay safe in the sun.
If you're concerned or worried about any changes in your skin then please go and see your doctor,
and get yourself checked out.
