Make Sure You Are Sun Smart

With the arrival of summer and the sun turning up its heat, now is the time to make sure you are protecting yourself against skin cancer.
Everyone is at risk from damaging their skin during the summer, whether you are at home in the garden or lying on a beach abroad, so it makes sense to take a few simple steps to protect you and your family.
The NHS in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland is urging everyone to be SunSmart this year, Spend time in the shade between 11.00am and 3.00pm. Make sure you never burn. Aim to cover up with a T-shirt, sunglasses and hat. Remember to take extra care with children. Then use a high factor sunscreen.
