Be Sun Smart

Be as safe as you can in the sun because you don’t want to get skin cancer also known as melanoma.

 

 If you wear sunscreen you won’t get sunburnt or melanoma. Sunscreen is a thick protective layer from the sun. If you wear sunscreen regularly you won’t get sunburnt and make sure you put water proof sunscreen on when you’re swimming.

 

If you stay in the shade more than the sun you won’t get sun stroke. Sun stroke is when you get sick and vomit. If you drink lots of water you won’t get dehydrated. Remember the sun can’t give you shade it can only make you overheat.

 

If you wear a hat in the sun that covers your ears and neck you won’t get sunburnt. If you have clothes that can cover your legs and arms I would recommend wearing them because you need to cover as much as you can of your body so that your skin won’t get sunburnt.

 

So now you know about skin cancer/ Melanomas you will hopefully be sun smart.
