We are lucky to live in a sun-drenched country where we can enjoy barbeques, beachside holidays and year round sports.
However, fun in the sun also requires awareness and adherence to sun protection so as to avoid skin cancers, early ageing, wrinkles and blotchy skin.
Here are a few sun smart tips:
- Seek shade whenever you're outdoors
- Wear protective clothing that covers your arms and legs
- Wear a wide brimmed hat that shades your face and neck
- Protect your eyes by wearing wrap-around sunglasses
- Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ water resistant sunscreen every 2 hours
Australia has one of the the highest rates of skin cancer in the world. As most skin cancers that are caught early can be completely cured, skin should be checked regularly for any abnormal, suspicious or new spots and lumps.
