Why Sunscreen Belongs in an Everyday Routine

Choose a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF that suits your local health guidance and apply it generously to exposed skin. Put it on as the label directs before going outdoors, and reapply as instructed, especially after swimming, sweating, or towel drying. Hats, shade, and clothing add useful layers of protection.

Sunscreen is one part of sun safety, not a reason to stay out longer. Check the expiry date and storage instructions, since heat can affect a product. If you have sensitive skin or a skin condition, ask a pharmacist or clinician to help you choose a suitable option.
