About SunSmart:“Anywhere you go UV will damage unprotected skin. And it just keeps adding up.” SunSmart is currently running a 'UV, It all adds up' campaign that seeks to remind us that overexposure to UV radiation can occur regardless of the type of outdoor activity people undertake. It’s not just regular tanners or sunbakers who are at risk of skin cancer. Your skin is like a memory bank — it remembers all the sunburns, all the tans and all the time you spent exposed to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation, without sun protection. Every time you expose your skin to UV radiation, changes take place in the structure and function of your skin cells. You can’t always see the damage, but it is irreversible and will worsen with every exposure. Over time, this skin damage can result in premature ageing, eye damage, sunspots, and at worst, skin cancer. People are reminded to check the UV Index when they are exposing their skin to the sun and to protect themselves when the UV index is 3 or higher. Visit myUV.com.au for your UV forecast and to download the SunSmart App.
