☁️ MYTH: “I don’t need sunscreen if it’s cloudy.”

🚫 TRUTH: Up to 80% of UV rays can pass through clouds — meaning your skin is still at risk, even when the sun isn’t blazing.

✅ Protect yourself every day in summer by applying SPF before heading out — cloudy or clear.

📍 We’ve got sunscreen for every skin type in-store — come and see our pharmacist for personalised advice.
