SUN SMART

Garth Powell —

Just a reminder

· NZ has the highest incidence of melanoma in the world.

· Sunburn and a lot of exposure to UV Radiation increases the risk of developing skin cancer later. That’s why we’d like to remind parents and caregivers to keep their children safe in the sun.

· Sun protection is required until the beginning of April, especially between 10am and 4pm, even when temperatures are cool.
