"A survey of more than 3,000 British adults has found that an astonishing one in three adults (35 per cent) admitted to never using sunscreen during the summer months, putting them at risk of developing serious diseases such as melanoma."
"Susanna Daniels, the charity's chief executive, said 'it is alarming to see that so many individuals are putting themselves at serious risk' and 'overlooking the vital importance of sun protection'."
"'As we head into the bank holiday weekend, we understand the desire to spend time outdoors, but staying safe in the sun by using a broad spectrum factor 30+ sunscreen, seeking shade, covering up, wearing a hat and UV protection sunglasses will protect you.'"
Research shows that one in nine UK adults have intentionally burnt their skin, and 35% never use sunscreen in summer. With around 19,400 new melanoma cases annually, experts emphasize the importance of sun protection. UV exposure is the leading cause of skin cancer, yet 86% of cases are preventable. As temperatures rise during the Bank Holiday weekend, the charity Melanoma Focus urges the public to prioritize skin safety by using sunscreen, seeking shade, and wearing protective clothing.
