Skin Cancer
UV rays cannot be seen or felt and can pass
through cloud cover.
Follow the #SunSmart 5 S’s-
Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek and Slide to protect your skin.
Skin cancer is largely preventable by protecting our
skin from UV rays and not using sunbeds.
Protecting your skin from the sun whether at
home or abroad can reduce your risk of skin
cancer.
