As we head into some warm weather, it's worth checking to see if your bottle of sunscreen is still effective.

The longer a bottle of sunscreen is open, the less effective it is at protecting you. If you’re using the same sunscreen from last summer, check that it hasn’t expired.

It’s important to look after yourself in the colder weather. Hot food and drinks are a tasty way to keep warm, and daily portions of fruit and vegetables keep your energy up. Try to move around at least once an hour, and wear suitable shoes with a good grip to prevent falls.
