☀️ Skin Cancer Awareness Month – Protect Your Skin, Protect Your Future ☀️

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK? The good news is that many cases can be prevented by taking simple steps to protect your skin from the sun.

As we enjoy the warmer weather, remember to:

🧴 Wear sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and reapply regularly
🕶️ Protect your eyes with UV-blocking sunglasses
👒 Cover up with a hat and suitable clothing
🌳 Seek shade, especially between 10am and 4pm
🔍 Check your skin regularly for any new or changing moles, marks, or lesions

Early detection can save lives. If you notice any changes to your skin that concern you, don’t ignore them – seek medical advice.

Let’s all stay sun safe this summer and help reduce the risk of skin cancer.

💙 Be Sun Safe. Be Skin Smart. Be Aware.
