Ensuring your skin is kept safe whilst in the sun is very important to prevent issues like cancer. The most effective ways of keeping yourself protected are using suncream, staying in the shade and wearing covering clothing. It’s important that your sun cream is at least SPF30, and UVA approved with 4 or 5 stars. It’s also important to remember that it’s not just hot weather that can burn you, and even if it doesn’t look sunny outside, the UV may still be high.

Children are at greater risk from sunburn, especially when around water. Whenever your child gets out of the pool, you should dry them and reapply sun cream. Even if your sun cream is waterproof, it’s better to be completely sure that they’re protected. Making sure that they’re not in direct sunlight in the middle of the day is vital.
