For sunbathers who want to be safe.

Applying sun lotion.

Knowledge is power

Being safe in the sun is not just about applying protection, although that is important, it is also about knowing what you are protecting against, what is the best sort of protection and when to apply it.

How much do I know already? What benefits can I get from the sun's rays? Can I get too little sun? What is Ultra Violet Radiation? How deep into the skin does UV light penetrate? Am I particularly at risk of getting skin cancer? What is the minimum I need, to protect myself from UV radiation? What else do you recommend? Where can I find our more?
