UV levels on the rise!

Remember to Monitor UV Levels Daily for Your Protection

Don't be fooled by cool, cloudy weather! UV rises to skin damaging levels in Victoria from mid-August, which means its time to bring out the sun protection measures again - covering clothing, SPF30 (or higher) sunscreen, a broad-brimmed hat, shade and sunglasses.

Remember to check the expiry date on your sunscreen at the start of each season to ensure it is still in date. Sunscreen is designed to remain at original strength for up to three years, however once past the expiry date, the formula degrades and no longer provides complete protection for your skin.
