How To Stay Sun Safe This Summer
With this weekend set to reach highs of 25 degrees, its time to starting thinking about protecting ourselves and our little ones from those harmful UVA and UVB rays. Not only are they incredibly ageing, causing dehydrated skin and premature wrinkles but the suns rays are also the number one cause of skin cancer.
Today La Roche –Posay have launched their skin checker campaign with the aim of helping awareness and understanding of safe sun behaviour by focusing of 3 essential actions for ultimate sun protection.
Protect your skin year round with complete broad-spectrum sun care protection (see my Summer Sun SPF Guide below)
Be safe in the sun. This includes staying out of the sun between 12 and 3, re-appling sunscreen every few hours and again after swimming, and finaly ensuring your little ones are covered up in light weight protective clothing. Just remember if you can see through the clothing the sun can get through it too.
Check yours and your loved ones’ beauty spots regularly. Not sure what to look for, then check out this super cute video from the skin experts at La Roche-Posay.
