Rain, hail or shine – SPF is essential every single day of the year! Recent research by the Irish Cancer Society has revealed that many people believe that sun protection isn’t necessary when in Ireland – but that couldn’t be further from the truth! Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in Ireland, with over 11,000 new cases diagnosed every year. As it’s been found that 86% of melanomas are preventable by protecting your skin from harmful rays, it’s vital to protect your skin with the daily use of SPF. The sun protection market is vast, but the most important things to consider when choosing a sunscreen is to make sure it is: High factor – at least SPF30 but we recommend SPF50 Broad Spectrum – protecting from UVA and UVB rays One you love to apply – because you need to reapply it every 2 hours during the day! Usage per application: For the average adult you will need 35mls of sunscreen to cover the whole body. We recommend using a measure of half a teaspoon of sunscreen to cover each arm, the face, neck and ears. Use a measure of one teaspoon for each leg, the front and the back of the body.
