Want to know the secret to a great skin care routine? Being sun safe.

Australia has one of the highest rates of skin cancer in the world and it is the most common cancer affecting young Australians.

Overexposure to UV radiation from the sun causes more than 95% of skin cancers.

The good news? Skin cancers can be easily prevented by protecting your skin outdoors.

Remember to:
- slip on clothing that covers your shoulders, arms and legs, it’s one of the most effective ways to protect your skin
- slop a SPF 50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen to create a barrier between UV and your skin
- slap on a sun safe hat that protects your face, ears and neck.
- seek shade whenever you can. Shade alone can reduce UV exposure by up to 75%
- slide on sunglasses that meet Australian Standard AS1067 and fit your face to reduce UV exposure to your eyes.
