🔆 Melanoma Awareness – Every 30 Minutes Matters 🔆
Melanoma is often called Australia’s national cancer, and for good reason — one Australian is diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes.
Australia has some of the highest melanoma rates in the world, but the good news is that early detection saves lives. Most melanomas are caused by UV exposure, and with regular skin checks and sun-safe habits, melanoma is often preventable.
How you can protect yourself and others:
🧴 Wear sunscreen every day
👒 Cover up and seek shade
👀 Get regular skin checks
📣 Share this message to raise awareness
Let’s work together to reduce melanoma rates and protect more Australians.
Check your skin. Protect your family. Spread the word.

💡 Bottom Line
DIY sunscreens can leave you dangerously underprotected, increasing the risk of burns, skin aging, and cancer. Commercial sunscreens are carefully formulated, tested, and regulated to provide reliable, measurable protection. If you're concerned about ingredients, opt for mineral-based options (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) labeled broad-spectrum SPF 30+, and follow recommended application guidelines.
