Sun safety week continues this week

May 4, 2020

With the days getting longer and summer fast approaching it is vital we stay safe in the sun.

The British Association of Dermatologists (BAD) is currently running a national campaign around skin cancer called sun awareness and to help generate awareness around sun safety, each day this week we will be myth busting everything around sun safety, giving hints of tips of how to stay safe in sun.

Our second myth is around getting a sun tan being healthy. It is indeed a myth that this is healthy as excessive exposure to UV(ultraviolet)A and UV(ultraviolet)B rays can lead to skin cancer.
