Now that the sun is coming out and the weather is warming up, it is time to make sure you are protecting your skin from the damaging sun.
The sun in Australia can be very harsh, partly due to a thin ozone layer, and it is essential to wear sunscreen (a 30+ formula is great), a sunhat with a large brim, and keep your fluids up by drinking water and other liquids to keep you hydrated.
The hottest part of the day is between 10am and 3pm, and it is important to keep yourself protected. If you start to feel the sun "biting" you and your skin starts to turn red, it is time to move undercover!
There is some fantastic information on the SA Cancer Council website that will give you lots of information about protecting yourself and your skin.
No matter what the colour of your skin, getting burnt is a real possibility. Should you find yourself to be burnt, don't put any ointments on it, and keep yourself cool. If you develop blisters, you will need to get medical help.
As long as you take care of yourself and reapply your sunscreen every 3 hours, you will enjoy yourself in the sun!
