Sun Safety Tips from Cancer Council

Protecting your skin goes beyond just applying sunscreen. For comprehensive sun protection, remember to follow these essential tips:

Wear Sunscreen Daily: Make sunscreen a part of your daily routine, even on cloudy days. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30, and reapply every two hours or after swimming or sweating.
Seek Shade During Peak Hours: The sun’s rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. If possible, stay in the shade during these hours to reduce your risk of sunburn and skin damage.
Cover Up with Protective Clothing: Wear long-sleeved shirts, pants, and wide-brimmed hats to shield your skin from direct sunlight. Look for clothing with a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) rating for added protection.
Don’t Forget Your Eyes: Protect your eyes and the sensitive skin around them by wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays.
Stay Hydrated: Sun exposure can lead to dehydration, so drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay cool and hydrated.

General FAQs About Cancer Council Sunscreens

What makes Cancer Council Sunscreens different from other brands?

Cancer Council Sunscreens are backed by extensive research and are specially formulated to provide effective broad-spectrum protection against harmful UV rays. They are developed by Australia's leading cancer charity dedicated to preventing skin cancer and promoting sun safety.

How often should I apply Cancer Council Sunscreen?

Sunscreen should be applied at least 20 minutes before sun exposure and re-applied every two hours, or more frequently if you are swimming, sweating, or towel-drying. This helps maintain effective protection throughout the day.

What SPF should I choose for daily use?

For daily use, it is recommended to use a broad-spectrum sunscreen with at least SPF 30. If you plan to be outdoors for an extended period, especially during peak sunlight hours, consider using SPF 50+ for added protection.

What is the difference between SPF 30 and SPF 50?

SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks about 98%. While the difference may seem small, using a higher SPF can provide more reliable protection, especially for individuals with fair skin or when exposed to intense sunlight for extended periods.

How do I know if my Cancer Council Sunscreen is still effective?

Check the expiration date on the packaging. Sunscreens typically have a shelf life of about three years. Using expired sunscreen may not provide adequate protection and can increase the risk of sunburn.

Can I use Cancer Council Sunscreens under makeup?

Yes, Cancer Council offers sunscreens that can be used as a base under makeup. These formulas are lightweight and absorb quickly, providing a smooth surface for makeup application while offering sun protection.
