👣 How to Treat a Blister🚑

Blisters can be painful but preventable. Focus on prevention: wear comfy, broken-in shoes and moisture-wicking socks. If one forms:

✔ Don’t Pop: Leave it intact to heal—cover with a sterile pad if needed.

✔ Clean & Protect: Wash gently, apply antiseptic, and use a donut pad to reduce pressure.

✔ Watch It: See a doctor if it’s large, infected, or near sensitive areas.

Prevention beats treatment—stay proactive! Want more first aid tips? You’re in safe hands with us. ❤️

☀️ Why Sunscreen Matters in Hot Weather! 🚑

Sunscreen is key to protecting your skin during hot spells—but it won’t stop a tan, just the damage! Here’s why it’s a must:

✔ UV Damage: The NHS reports 86% of melanoma cases link to UV exposure—sunscreen reduces this risk.

✔ Stats: Cancer Research UK says 16,000+ melanoma cases occur yearly in the UK, with 2,300 deaths—SPF 30+ cuts UV rays by 97%.

✔ Burn Prevention: Without it, 1 in 3 UK adults get sunburned annually (British Skin Foundation), raising skin cancer odds by 20% per burn.

Apply generously every 2 hours—tan safely! Want more safety tips? You’re in safe hands with us. ❤️
