Is your sunscreen giving you the protection you need?

Over recent years, we have become very aware of the toll that the sun takes on our skin. When you consider that the UK has one of the fastest increasing rates of skin cancer in the world, it is not surprising to discover that many people will develop at least one skin cancer in their life and you can understand why skin specialists believe it is essential to protect the skin against the sun’s harmful radiation by using a sunscreen and other sun protection measures to guard against sunburn and skin cancer.

Even on a dull day, you are still at risk of getting burnt from the sun’s rays that’s why it is so important to protect you and your family against sunburn and the risk of skin cancer with an effective sunscreen.

UV-A and UV-B are recognised as being responsible for sunburn,skin cancer, premature ageing, leathery and mottled skin. Broad spectrum sunscreens like SUNSENSE, which protect from UV-A and UV-B rays can help prevent skin cancer when used frequently.

Overly protective and proud of it

Research suggests that if everyone used SPF 15 sunscreen regularly, at least until the age of 18, the number of people getting melanomas could be reduced by over 70%. Repeated tanning contributes to premature ageing and increases the risk of skin cancer. All shades of skin should apply a sunscreen.

Are you using enough sunscreen?

To ensure that SUNSENSE sunscreen gives you maximum protection at all times, you need to apply the equivalent of 2 tablespoons or 30 ml of lotion (for an adult) to ensure that any exposed areas of your skin are properly protected.

Why SPF 50+?

An SPF 50+ sunscreen gives you double the protection of SPF 25 against sunburn and also gives you increased protection against related forms of skin damage. Whilst this means that you get twice the protection from the same amount of sunscreen, it DOES NOT mean that you can stay out in the sun for twice as long. For the most effective protection against the sun’s rays, a combination of high SPF factor sunscreens, shade and protective clothing is recommended.

Being SUNSENSIBLE

To obtain the best protection, it is best to combine SUNSENSE with common sense so here are 10 sun-protection tips to follow:

1. Minimise sun exposure between the hours of 11am and 3pm when the sun’s rays are at their strongest.

2. When out in the sun, apply SUNSENSE to all exposed areas of skin. Wear a broad brimmed hat and a T-shirt of closely woven material.

3. SUNSENSE should be applied to clean dry skin 15 minutes prior to exposure as this allows the sunscreen to bond to the skin.

4. Sunscreens wear off with normal usage, so reapply SUNSENSE at least every 2 hours or after swimming, exercise, heavy perspiration and towelling dry.

5. Apply SUNSENSE even when sitting in the shade. Surfaces such as sand, water, snow and concrete can reflect the sun’s rays onto your skin.

6. Sports lovers are particularly at risk. Apply SUNSENSE before any outdoor activity – this also extends to gardening.

7. Use SUNSENSE during high altitude activities such as skiing and mountain climbing. High altitude increases the risk of sunburn.

8. Don’t just wear SUNSENSE in summer. The sun can damage your skin even on a typically British overcast day!

9. Use SUNSENSE every day, particularly on your face and the backs of your hands to help prevent dry leathery skin, wrinkles, mottling and other signs of premature ageing, as well as the more serious problems of skin cancer.

10. Explain the necessity of sun protection to your children.

Greater sun and daughter protection

All SUNSENSE sunscreens are specifically developed to protect against sunburn and help prevent premature ageing and skin cancer. With an easy to apply and non-greasy formula, they absorb easily into the skin without leaving behind a shiny white residue on the skin like other sunscreens do. The SUNSENSE range offers an extensive choice of sizes and formulations to suit even the most sensitive skin.

SUNSENSE is the number one sunscreen range in Australia and helps protect against the damaging effects of the sun. Frequently recommended by UK dermatologists and skin cancer specialists here in the UK.
