New labelling for aerosol sunscreens coming soon and we fully support this labelling change.

It’s important to use aerosol sunscreens correctly to help avoid sunburn and other problems.

The safest way to use aerosol sunscreens is to:

1. Hold the container 10-15 cm away from the body and apply liberally and evenly until the product looks and feels wet on the skin.
2. Don’t spray directly on to your face. Spray onto your hands and then apply to your face.
3. Don’t apply in windy conditions.
4. Use in a well-ventilated area and avoid inhalation.

These instructions will be required on all aerosol sunscreen labels in Australia soon.

Good news from Ninja (young gaming youtuber) who had the area around his Melanoma excised to make sure it was all gone. He had a 2nd lesion that was new and he was worried about it - that's what he mentions in the 2nd half of his post.
We wish him all the best and we're glad that he got the Melanoma early so he should expect to be cured.
