Stay Sun-Safe

Stay Sun-Safe

The majority of skin cancers are linked to overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays. Most UV comes from the sun, but indoor tanning beds and sun lamps also contribute. The more UV exposure, the greater the risk of developing skin cancer.

Sun Safety Tips

Seek shade between 11am and 3pm (UK time, March to October) when the sun is strongest.

Avoid sunburn at all costs.

Cover up with long sleeves, a wide-brimmed hat, and UV-blocking sunglasses.

Use sunscreen with at least SPF 30—and reapply frequently.

Protect children carefully, as their skin is more sensitive and prone to long-term damage.

Children and Sun Protection

Children’s skin is much more vulnerable to UV damage, which can raise their risk of skin cancer later in life. Babies under 6 months should be kept completely out of direct sunlight.

From March to October in the UK, children should:

Wear UV-protective clothing

Stay in the shade during peak hours

Use SPF 30+ sunscreen on exposed skin like the face, ears, and hands
