Sun Safety Message

Summer is a fun time for all the family but sunburn cannot only spoil your family day at the beach, but can also cause serious long-term damage to your health.

1. It is estimated that most of a person’s sun damage occurs before the age of 18. So it is important to protect the whole family against sun damage every time you go out in the sun.

2. Skin cancer is mostly related to the number of severe sunburns, particularly during childhood. But a person's lifetime or ‘cumulative' exposure can also increase their long-term risk of skin cancer.

3. The key to protection is not only to use a quality sunscreen, but to make sure you are well protected right throughout the day, whatever you are doing.
