Be Sun Safe!
Curious about how to stay safe this summer? Check below!
We here at South Steyne Medical Centre love getting in the sun, but it’s important to stay safe!
The Cancer Council Australia is running a fantastic initiative this week, National Skin Cancer Action Week. So as part of that we thought we would share some good tips for being sun safe.
Here are the best ways to keep safe in the sun this summer:
SLIP on some sun-protective clothing that covers as much skin as possible.
SLOP on broad spectrum, water resistant SPF30 (or higher) sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards. Sunscreen should never be used to extend the time you spend in the sun.
SLAP on a hat – broad brim or legionnaire style to protect your face, head, neck and ears.
SEEK shade.
SLIDE on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards.
