☀️ July is UV Safety Awareness Month! ☀️
Our care workers are often out and about supporting others, but don’t forget to protect yourself too!
Protecting yourself from the sun is very important, the sun's UV rays can cause sunburn, premature ageing, eye damage, and even increase the risk of skin cancer. And yes, you can still burn on cloudy days!
Here's a guide to better protect yourself from the sun:
🕶️ Wear long sleeves, sunglasses, and a wide-brimmed hat
⛱️ Stick to the shade between 11AM – 3PM
🧴 Use a minimum of SPF 30 sun cream and reapply regularly
💧 Wear water resistant sunscreen if you're sweating or near water
Let’s keep ourselves safe while we care for others. For more information, read our latest blog: https://www.carewatch.co.uk/2025/07/15/uv-safety-awareness-month/
