A humbling insight from DASIL South Africa ๐ŸŒ Please listen ๐Ÿ™

As a British Consultant Dermatologist and skin cancer surgeon, Altruist Founder Dr Andrew Birnie was moved by the challenges faced by some of his South African peers who work under some extremely challenging circumstances ๐Ÿฉบ often with limited power supplies - the very basic need to operate a clinic ๐ŸŒ

This is why it is so important that conferences like bring together the best dermatology experts from across the world, to not only share their knowledge, but their experiences ๐Ÿ™

โฌ‡๏ธ

Having a constant, reliable electric and energy source is a privilege we do not take for granted.

Neither is access to affordable, basic skin health needs, like sunscreen, to prevent the incidence of skin cancer๐Ÿฅผ

๐Ÿ“If you are privileged enough to be able to afford and have access to world-class sun protection , please use it โ˜€๏ธ

Please wear sunscreen and please listen to skin cancer experts to protect your skin - not those unqualified to protect you ๐Ÿค

Did you know that approx. 90% of UV rays can pass through clouds to damage skin?

โš ๏ธ From March - October (UK) UV can be strong enough to cause skin damage and even burn

๐Ÿ™ Please donโ€™t rely on clouds to protect your skin - particularly if you are planning an Autumn break in a high UV climate โ˜€๏ธ

โ˜€๏ธ๐ŸŒค๏ธ๐ŸŒฅ๏ธ Always check your local UV Index, higher than 3, pale or vulnerable skins should be wearing high SPF30+ & high UVA protection ๐Ÿงด

๐Ÿ‘€ Check your sunscreen for its UVA rating/ symbol - at Altruist we use the PPD UVA rating which you can find in our packaging

UVA rays are the secret ager, protecting against UVA damage prevents premature aging (ask us if you canโ€™t find it)
