Sunscreen is essential

Solar (UVR) Ultraviolet radiation is energy from the sun. As you may have heard it is composed of three wavelengths, UVA, UVB and UVC. It is UVA and UVB that can reach the earth’s surface causing damage to our skin. Because the energy from the sun is invisible its powerful effects can be underestimated while in fact they can pose detrimental consequences to our skin and overall health. This includes increasing our risk of developing skin cancer as well as creating visible photodamage on the skins surface.

Although fairer skin types are at increased risk, all skin types are vulnerable.

This is why we find it incredibly important to remind you all of the risks of unprotected sun exposure and of the difference applying regular sunscreen can make.

The good news is, simple measures like applying sun protection, wearing a hat, covered clothing and seeking shade where possible are enough to reduce your risk of internal and external photodamage.
