Sun awareness week is a national campaign for skin cancer. British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) aims to make you aware of skin cancer, to regularly check yourself and be aware of the potential danger of excessive tanning.

Over exposure to sun/UV rays can lead to serious damage and eventually cause serious skin damage or cancers such as non-melanoma and melanoma.

Please remember to apply suncreams regularly throughout the day. Cover up as much as possible using t-shirts and always wear a hat.
