A worrying trend has emerged on TikTok, where teens and young adults are attempting to "burn off" their acne by intentionally sunbathing without protection.

Whilst this might offer temporary relief, the long-term risks far outweigh any short-term benefits. Not only does sunburn worsen the skin barrier, making acne scars more prominent, but it also significantly increases the risk of skin cancer. The NHS strongly advises against this practice, emphasising the importance of safe and effective acne treatments.

Remember, a burn indicates your skin's protective response, and it can lead to even greater skin woes. Stay safe and protect your skin.

On top of this, men are significantly more likely than women to be diagnosed with melanoma, which may come down to spending more time outdoors and often neglecting sun protection ☀️

As Father’s Day approaches, it’s a crucial reminder for all men to prioritise their skin health. Through both regular skin checks and sun protection, taking these steps can make a big difference.

In the world of sun protection, it's essential to prioritise your skin's health. While DIY projects might be fun, homemade sunscreen is not a safe alternative to products that have been tested and developed by experts 🧴

Commercial sunscreens undergo rigorous testing to ensure they provide adequate protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. Products like these are formulated with scientifically-backed ingredients and must meet safety standards to ensure effectiveness. In contrast, DIY sunscreens often lack the necessary SPF and can even increase UV damage due to improper ingredient ratios.

That’s why you should choose a broad-spectrum, SPF 30+ sunscreen that meets regulatory standards and pair it with sun-protective clothing and shade for the best protection.

Remember, your skin's health is worth the investment in regulated products.

Gel and acrylic nails might be stylish, but they may come with serious health risks.

The UV lamps used to cure gel nails emit UVA radiation, which can damage the skin on your hands and increase the risk of skin cancer. Even brief, regular exposure can be harmful, as these areas are often unprotected and may not receive sunscreen. Additionally, the adhesives contain harmful chemicals like formaldehyde, which can cause irritation and burns.

To minimise risks, apply high-SPF sunscreen to your hands before manicures and consider using protective gloves during curing. Opt for regular nail polish or UV-free gel alternatives for safer options.

Stay informed about the long-term effects of UV exposure on your skin health.

UV rays are always present, regardless of the season, whether it's summer or winter ☀️❄️

The majority of skin cancers are caused by UV radiation, which means they can largely be prevented with proper sun protection. However, Canstar Cannex reveals that less than 20% of people wear sunscreen during the winter months.

That’s why it’s important to make your skin a priority and use sunscreen every day to lower your chances of getting skin cancer.
