Sunburn Facts:

• Sunburn can occur in less than 15 minutes and, depending on the severity, can take a few days or weeks to heal.
• There is no cure for the symptoms of sunburn except time and patience.
• Mild sunburn can be treated at home, but severe and blistered sunburn needs prompt medical attention.
• Excessive exposure to UV damages the skin permanently and may cause skin cancer, including dangerous malignant melanoma.
• Each time you expose your skin to UV radiation, you increase your risk of developing skin cancer.

With these facts in mind, and the long hot Australian summer only months away, the need to protect yourself and your family against the relentless Australian sun is paramount. Avoid the burn and slip, slop, slap, seek and slide this summer.
