I’m writing this as the UK is having a heat wave. (Sorry, rest of the world. We’re not use to it being really hot!). Even now, some of us don’t use sunscreen or not enough of it. Here is a reminder why you should.

Why We Need To Use Sunscreen And Not Just When It’s Sunny.

This is such an important reminder, Rachel. I am not much of a sun worshipper. You’ll usually find me in the shade wearing a big hat. LOL However, I need to be more diligent about sunscreen when I am in the sun.

As do I. I often forget when I applied my sunscreen! 🤣

I only discovered a few years ago about the 2 hour factor – that was a big shock, so thank you for the reminder!

I’d recently just bought my first ever bottle of sunblock. I’d never bothered with it before because I don’t sun bath and try to avoid going out when it’s hot. But sometimes it’s unavoidable

I find I catch the sun more when walking around than sunbathing!

This is such an important reminder. I know so many people that don’t wear sunscreen and I nag at them all the time to do it haha. I’m so fascinated by the SPF 30 vs 50 fact. I always try and get a super high SPF but never really looked into how effective it was just assumed it was better. Thanks for sharing all of this info!

I didn’t know you can be allergic to the sun. I have to use a lot of sunscreens because I’ve very pale skin!

Thank you, Rachel. Melanoma, Squamous Cell, and Sebaceous Carcinoma here… Blistering sunburns as a child… when people referred to having a “healthy tan” and sunscreen was not even talked about. Listen to Rachel, folks. Protect yourself from the sun’s rays and get your Vitamin D checked.
