How To Prevent Skin Cancer?

  • Seek shade, especially in the hottest part of the day.
  • Wear sun-protective clothing that covers your back, shoulders, arms and legs.
  • Wear a broad-brimmed hat. A brim protects your ears and neck more than a cap.
  • Wear wrap-around sunglasses. Check the label to ensure they meet the Australian standard (Category 2, 3 or 4).
  • Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 50+ every 2 hours and after swimming or exercise.
