24.01.2022 Many people believe that they dont need to use sunscreen because their cosmetics contain sunscreen. The Cancer Council recommends that you apply sunscreen under your makeup. Many cosmetic products offer protection that is much lower than the recommended SPF30+ so it is important to check the products you are using to ensure you are adequately protected.

15.01.2022 Were not talking about the alphabet were talking about the three types of ultraviolet rays. Sunlight contains three types of ultraviolet rays: UVA, UVB and UVC. Fortunately, UVC rays do not reach the earth but it is essential that you protect your skin from UVA and UVB rays:... 1. UVA: These rays penetrate deep into the skin, which can cause premature ageing and wrinkling. These are the rays that can be found in tanning beds. 2. UVB: Exposure to these rays is the cause of the immediate change in skin colour. These rays usually burn superficial layers of your skin and play a key role in the development of skin cancer.

15.01.2022 A common misconception many people have is that you cant get sunburnt on a cloudy day. 87% of the suns rays penetrate through clouds, fog and mist. Remember that you cant see or feel UV rays, so the temperature is not an accurate indicator of when you need to cover up. ... To find out when you need sun protection, check out the UV levels on the SunSmart app.

08.01.2022 The National Multicultural Festival begins in Canberra today! With this celebration of cultural diversity in mind, it is befitting that we dispel some widely-believed myths about the link between skin cancer risk and skin colour. People with darker skin tones often believe that theyre not at risk for skin cancer, but that is a dangerous misconception.... Anyone can develop skin cancer, regardless of race. Darker skin produces more of the pigment called melanin that does help protect skin but only to a certain extent. As you eat, drink, laugh and dance your way around the world today, make sure you protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

05.01.2022 Its true that Vitamin D is required for good health and its produced when our skin is exposed to UV radiation. However, many people overestimate the amount of sun exposure they need.
