Skin Health and Sun Protection

What is it?
Skin health involves maintaining the skin’s natural barrier and protecting it from environmental damage. Sun protection is a key component in preventing premature ageing, sunburn, and skin cancer.

What can I do?

1. Use sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher daily, even on cloudy days.
2. Wear protective clothing, hats, and sunglasses when outdoors.
3. Moisturise your skin regularly to keep it hydrated.
4. Avoid prolonged exposure to the sun during peak hours (10 am - 4 pm).

When to Consult Your Doctor or Dermatologist

• If you notice changes in moles, freckles, or skin spots.
• If you have persistent skin issues like acne, eczema, or dryness.
• If you’re unsure about the best skincare products for your skin type.

Remember
Caring for your skin is essential for overall health and confidence. Protecting your skin from the sun can significantly reduce the risk of skin damage and related health issues.
