Enjoy the sunshine – but protect your skin ☀️
Too much sun exposure increases your risk of skin cancer, one of the most common cancers in the UK ⚠️
The good news? It’s largely preventable 🙌
✔️ Use SPF 30 or higher (SPF 50 for extra protection)
✔️ Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming
✔️ Seek shade between 11am–3pm
✔️ Wear a hat, sunglasses, and protective clothing
✔️ Avoid sunbeds
Sunburn doesn’t just damage your skin now – it can increase your risk later in life 💛

Enjoy the sunshine – but don’t forget to protect your skin ☀️

Using suncream every day (yes, even in the UK!) helps protect against sunburn, premature ageing, and reduces your risk of skin cancer 💛

✔️ Reapply every 2 hours (and after swimming)
✔️ Don’t forget ears, neck, and hands
✔️ Stay in the shade during peak sun hours

Sun protection isn’t just for holidays – it’s for everyday health 🙌
