Have you remembered your sunscreen?☀️
Now that spring is in full swing the UV index is climbing up. Always make sure you avoid the sun at its peak from 10am - 3pm and wear sun lotion and sunnies 😎 Be sure to look out for changes to your moles such as a change in size, shape and colour and whether they are itchy or bleeding. If so, be sure to pop in and see your local doctor for a full skin check.
Take care and stay healthy 😘

Be Sun Smart! 🌞
It’s National Skin Cancer Action Week. Two in three Australians are diagnosed with skin cancer by the age of 70 and more than 2000 people die of skin cancer each year.
Most skin cancers are preventable by the use of good sun protection:
- slip on sun-protective clothing 👚
- Slop on SPF 30+ broad spectrum sunscreen ✋️
- Slap on a broad brimmed hat 🎩
- Seek shade ⛱
- Slide on sunglasses 🕶
It’s important to stay out of the sun from 11-3pm as that’s when the sun is strongest. If you need to step out make sure you keep exposure to a minimum and use protective gear.
Getting to know your skin and regularly checking your moles is a great way to notice any changes that you can alert to your doctor. Make sure you see your doctor if notice any change in the colour, size, shape of a mole or if they become itchy or bleed.
Skin checks are simple and easy and are a great way to prevent any long term problems.

Take care & stay healthy 🙂
