Be SunSmart this summer

Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going outside.

Reapply at least every two hours - or more often if you have been swimming or sweating.

It takes around seven teaspoons (35 mL) of sunscreen for one full body application for an average sized adult.

You should apply about one teaspoon of sunscreen to:

• your face, ears and neck
• each leg
• each arm
• the front of your body
• the back of your body.

Slopping on sunscreen is just one way to be SunSmart.

It is important to protect your skin and eyes from UV radiation when you’re outside from September to April, especially between 10am and 4pm.

Remember to Slip, Slop, Slap and Wrap:

• Slip on sun-protective clothing
• Slip into shade
• Slop on sunscreen
• Slap on a hat
• Wrap on sunglasses.
