Care in the sun

Build up the time you spend in the sun gradually; avoid sunbathing between the hottest hours of the day, e.g. 11am and 3pm; apply high factor sunscreen and reapply frequently; never expose babies under 6 months to the sun and always take extra care with children; remember, it’s possible to burn in the shade, when it’s cloudy and while swimming; at the first sign of burning get out of the sun immediately; always drink plenty of water.
