Sun protection tips
The Cancer Council Australia's key recommendations to be sun smart are as follows:
Seek shade.
Wear protective clothing that covers your arms and legs as well as your body.
Put on a broad-brimmed hat that shades your face and neck.
Wear wrap-around sunglasses.
Apply broad spectrum SPF 30+ water resistant sunscreen every 2 hours.
Sunscreen should not be used to extend the time you spend in the sun.
