Be especially careful when in or on the water, the strong sun may badly burn the skin without giving you any warning signs.

Some individuals should exercise extreme caution when exposed to the sun, these include people with very fair skin, people who burn often or tan poorly, people with many freckles or moles, those under age 16, and those with a history of skin cancer themselves or in their family history.  Remeber even if these conditions do not apply to you it is still very important to be smart about your own exposure to the sun.

Before you dress and go out in the sun apply sun block to ensure that you don’t miss any areas.

Build up that tan gradually over time never be tempted to burn – burnt skin is a sign of skin damage.

Stay in the shade or out of the sun between 12 noon and 3 o’clock when the sun is at its hottest and strongest. Stay in the shade or cover up with a T-shirt and broad-brimmed hat.

If you intend to play a lot of sports or swimming, choose a special sports formula or waterproof formulation.

Use a good lip screen as lips need to be protected to stop them from burning and chapping.
