Know your UVA from your UVB? A case for all-year-round sun protection...

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

As we approach the last 6 weeks of 2021 it’s been another incredible year for our MASCED training programme.

Supported by key industry bodies and finalists of the Safety in Beauty Awards, our work in this arena continues to go from strength to strength.

Melanoma begins in melanocytes – the cells that produce the pigment melanin that colours the skin, hair & eyes. Melanocytes also form moles, where melanoma often, but not always develops.These cancerous growths develop when unrepaired DNA damage to skin cells trigger mutations…

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Did you know that UVA (commonly known as ageing rays) are more-or-less the same strength every day, all-year-round! Furthermore, around 95% of the UV radiation that meets the earth’s surface is UVA - meaning we are all exposed to high levels during our lifetime.

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Sunbeds emit the same UV radiation as the sun, but in greater intensities. Sunbeds are classified as a group 1 carcinogen. Even 1 sunbed use can increase your risk of melanoma by 20% & sunbed use before the age of 35 can increase the risk of melanoma by 75%! SUNBEDS ARE NOT SAFE!

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

This is a very common myth! But be warned - unless the PRIMARY FUNCTION of the product is to protect the skin from UVA and UVB damage, then it should not be relied upon to provide adequate protection.

Furthermore, you would need to apply the product liberally and frequently!

[SkinSafe @ClaireDale]

@_MikeMcCartney_ Glad you had fun Mike. Hope you got lots of hugs 🤗 Great to see you at L&T’s 50th celebrations and hear about the bible selling days 😂 See you soon.

@helenshepard @jowhiley 🤢 that’s awful. I stick to lakes where I know they are safe. Not been brave enough to try rivers since reading that there are no clean ones in the UK 😢

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Exposure to UVB is the most efficient way for our bodies to boost our vitamin D supply,overexposure is a serious health risk,it’s important to strike the right balance!Environmental & personal factors affect vitamin D production,for most daily amounts can be produced in 15-20mins

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

No matter what skin type you have it’s important to check your skin thoroughly from the top of your head, to the soles of your feet every month for the early warning signs.Get to know your body & get checked out by a healthcare professional if worried. EARLY DETECTION SAVES LIVES

SUNBURN IS STRONGLY LINKED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF MELANOMA
Sunburn is bad news at any age & the dangers go way beyond the short-term pain, swelling and redness. Even a single sunburn can significantly increase a person’s risk of developing both melanoma & non-melanoma skin cancer.

[SkinSafe @ClaireDale]

@HM_Passport I have been in a ‘call back’ list since TUESDAY! Please tell me how I can actually speak to someone about my URGENT problem!

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Well if this figure isn’t alarming enough for a cancer that’s almost entirely preventable, the fact is the true cost is still unknown & likely to be even greater!
According to the British Association of Dermatologists treatment costs the NHS ‘AT LEAST’ £289 -£399 million per year

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Do you think the nation’s health should be treated as a luxury when it comes to sun protection? Research conducted by The UK’s largest retailer, Tesco, revealed that over half of UK adults think sun protection is expensive, with 31% of parents saying they can’t always afford it!

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

Sunbeds have been officially classified as group 1 carcinogen for a reason - don’t be fooled into believing there are any health benefits from these dreadful machines.

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]

What an achievement! We are so grateful to all our 100 Miles in May participants for raising such a fantastic amount and it’s still trickling in!The money raised will support in vital work to save lives & combat skin cancer statistics in the UK.

🧡 Heartfelt thanks to you all!

[Skcin @SkcinCharity]
