Wear sunscreen. Don’t burn 🔥 Spring sun still burns, so wear a high broad spectrum SPF when outdoors ☝️Please listen to Dr Birnie, a highly respected skin cancer surgeon and sun protection expert + see our sun protection tips below ⬇️

Did you get caught out in the sun yesterday? ☀️

If you’re outside in Spring and at the end of the day your skin feels flushed, it is more likely to be sunburn when windburn 🥵

Burning isn’t just the skin going red and blistering 🔴 in lighter skin tones it is when the skin goes slightly pink

This April…

☀️ Wear your sunscreen daily if heading outside
☀️ Make sure your sunscreen is in date ✅ Check the 12M symbol on the tube
☀️ Wear more sunscreen than you think you need 👉 reapply every 2 hours if outdoors & seek shade if it is sunny 👈

📍Covering up with clothes, hats and sunglasses + cover up, wear hats and sunglasses is still the first line of protective defense against sun damage ⚠️

Altruist is er trots op dat we via dispensers in het ziekenhuis onze zonnebrandcrème gratis beschikbaar kunnen stellen aan bezoekers ☀️➡️ Swipe de foto’s voor meer informatie over zonveiligheid en voor zonadvies.👆

Repost 🙏 Smeer mee – gratis zonnebrand in Rijnstate

Vanaf nu vind je op meerdere plekken in ons ziekenhuis zonnebrandpalen. De zonnebrand is allergeenvrij en voor iedereen gratis te gebruiken.

Waarom we dit doen?

Ook op bewolkte dagen kan de zon je huid beschadigen. Soms kan dat zelfs leiden tot huidkanker, de meest voorkomende vorm van kanker in Nederland. Terwijl dit 9 van de 10 keer voorkomen kan worden met de juiste bescherming tegen de zon. Daarom maken we het makkelijk om je in te smeren.

Want, zoals onze dermatoloog Birgitte Visch ook zegt: “Even smeren is een kleine moeite, maar kan veel gezondheidsproblemen voorkomen.”

Je vindt de zonnebrandpalen bij:

📍 De hoofdingang van Rijnstate Arnhem, Elst en Zevenaar
📍De beweeg- en beleeftuin bij Oncologie en Geriatrie
📍 Het speelterras bij het Kindercentrum

Spring sun ☀️ Swipe ➡️ 7 reasons why applying sunscreen daily is the best way to future-proof, protect and maintain healthy skin 🙏 Have we missed anything?

If you wear sunscreen every day - tell us in comments why you do ⬇️

⚠️ 👉 Even in early Spring, that first sun of the year can damage skin. Here’s why:

✔️ You will burn more easily in your first sun exposure e.g. Spring, as your skin is not at all used to the strength of the UV rays
✔️ If you go for a walk outside and come back with windburn - it is more likely to be sunburn
🫣 Most people do not wear sunscreen daily (or other sun protection like hats/ sunglasses) so can easily get caught out when the sun does come out
