Are you at risk of skin cancer? 

Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the UK and rates continue  to rise. At least 100,000 new cases are now diagnosed each year, and the disease kills over 2,500 people each year in the UK – that’s seven people every day. 

Skin colour or type

Your skin colour or type is the main factor in your risk of developing skin cancer. People who burn easily in the sun are at increased risk of skin cancer. 

Overexposure to UV radiation in sunlight will cause damage to your skin which increases the risk of skin cancer.

NEVER LET YOUR SKIN BURN IN THE SUN, WHATEVER YOUR SKIN TYPE. 

Sunburn doesn’t just happen on holiday. Even in the UK you can get burnt between March and
October, so it’s important to protect your skin at home too. Use at least SPF30 suncream, cover up
and spend time in the shade. #GMSunSmart #SunSafetyWeek

 

Sunbeds give out ultraviolet (UV) rays that increase your risk of developing skin cancer, and many sunbeds give out a higher dose of UV than the midday tropical sun. Reduce your chance of getting skin cancer by saying no to sunbeds. #GMSunSmart #SunSafetyWeek
