☀️ Sun awareness and skin protection

As we spend more time outdoors over the summer months, it’s important to remember that UV rays can still damage your skin — even on cooler, windy or cloudy Orkney days.

A few simple steps can help protect your skin:
🧴 Use sunscreen regularly
🕶 Wear sunglasses and a hat
⛱ Seek shade during the middle of the day
💧 Keep hydrated when outdoors

It’s especially important to help protect children’s skin in the sun.
Enjoy the brighter days safely ☀️
