Get Sun Smart
Monday, 1 December 2008
It’s hard to believe that Summer socialising can cause long-term damage to our bodies, but with a little planning, you can help protect yourself from premature ageing and skin cancer – enjoying yourself even more along the way.
This summer, follow these simple steps to protect yourself from skin cancer:
1. Invest in a gorgeous broad-brimmed hat
2. Wear clothing that offers plenty of coverage – we love long summer dresses & kaftans
3. Sit in the shade – you’ll feel better for it after a long day
4. Wear fitting, UV-protected sunglasses
5. Apply SPF30+ sunscreen at least 20 minutes before heading out in the sun. Reapply every 2 hours
6. If possible, stay out of the sun between 10am & 3pm
7. Sunbeds are a big no-no. If you’re after a gorgeous tan, there are plenty of great tanning creams on the market
