The Scary Statistics &
COVERDERM Filteray's SunSafe Rules
We all love glowy, bronze skin and during the months leading up to the holidays, we work hard at that tan - often throwing caution to the wind and ignoring mom's wise warnings about being sun safe. We shouldn't fear our lovely South African sunny weather, but being aware of the skin cancer statistics and how to ensure that we are indeed SunSafe, could save your life. Let's start with the ugly truth.
~ Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in SA
~ By the age of 18, most people have received 18% of their lifetime sun exposure
~ A single bad case of sunburn during childhood can double the risk of skin cancer later in life
~ The sun is responsible for 80% of premature skin ageing, which makes sun protection one of the
best defences against wrinkles
~ An estimated 9,940 people will die of melanoma in 2015
~ One in every 50 people will be diagnosed with melanoma of the skin during their lifetime
Why would you want to be part of the statistics???
So how do we enjoy the heavenly rays without the horrible risks? Follow our SunSafe Rules religiously and keep yourself and your loved ones around and healthy for longer:
