SUN PROTECTION…. I know what you’re saying, you’ve heard this all before 😉
Then why is it that skin cancer is a major public health concern here in the uk. 1 in 4 men and 1 in 5 women will develop skin cancer at least once in their lifetime… shocking statistics hey!
So here I am again, the sun has decided to finally make an appearance and how good it feels😊
But there is also another benefit from Sun protection. Apart from preventing skin cancer which should be everyone’s primary concern, it also helps prevent accelerated ageing of the skin and conditions associated with it such as; pigmentation, lines and wrinkles, dehydration, redness, loss of laxity and the list goes on…
So a quick reminder of how to stay safe in the sun …
🌱avoid the mid day sun
🌱use SPF 30+
🌱wear a wide brim hat
🌱treat yourself to a pair of good quality large sunglasses
🌱take shade whenever possible
🌱keep yourself well hydrated. Carry water with you everywhere.
🌱remember children’s skins are at its most vulnerable, they rely on you to help keep them safe.
More on the subject of SpF’s later
In the meantime enjoy the sun safely.
Picture one - my favourite SPF I use all year round.
Picture Two - my trusty sun hat and shoulders always covered in the midday sun.
