We’re lucky to have experts like Phillipa on the road with us, and when it comes to protection, she keeps it simple. Her go-to tip? Don’t rely on sunscreen alone.

“Remember your sunsmart accessories! Don’t get caught out in the sun without a hat, sunnies, scarf and best of all, cover-all clothing. It’s the most reliable layer of defence you have against the harsh NZ sun.”

Sunscreen is your last line of defence. Make sure your team is using it right. ☀️

Your skin has a longer memory than you do. That "one bad burn" at the bach 10 years ago? Your skin remembers. Damage from UV exposure is cumulative.

A skin check isn't just about today; it’s about auditing your skin’s history to protect your future.

For those who spend their workdays on the road, the windows can give a false sense of security. Glass blocks the rays that cause a visible burn (UVB), but it doesn't stop UVA, the silent rays that pe*****te deep to cause long-term damage.

If you do a lot of driving, don't leave your skin protection to chance.

Work site safety isn't just about hard hats, high vis, and ear protection. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, UV radiation is a known workplace hazard.

Are you managing it as strictly as you manage heights or heavy machinery?

A new report from Te Aho o Te Kahu (Cancer Control Agency) reveals a stark future: annual cancer diagnoses are set to climb from 30,000 this year to over 45,000 by 2044. But here is the most important part: Up to 50% of these cancers are preventable.

In a country where skin cancer accounts for 80% of all new cancer cases, "prevention" isn't just a buzzword, it’s a business strategy. As our population ages and the risk grows, we can’t just "treat" our way out of this. We have to detect it early.

Improved sun safety and regular screenings could prevent thousands of diagnoses every year.

Chelsea just got back from an epic family trek on the Milford Track! “With fantastic weather and plenty of iconic scenery you couldn’t have asked for better.”

At Skin Aware, we’re big believers in practicing what we preach. To look after our clients properly, we have to look after ourselves too. Chelsea took some well-earned time to switch off the phone, slap on the sunscreen, and soak in the best of our incredible backyard with the people who matter most.

Refreshed, recharged, and ready for a busy month ahead. Hope you’re all finding some time for your own "off-grid" moments lately! ☀️🥾
