1.1- The thing that you need to keep in mind when it's a hot summer day and the sun is out 'Safe skin is a win!' because it relates to putting on sunscreen and having a hat on your head, and if you keep your skin healthy and happy then you will have less chance of skin cancer and premature skin aging (wrinkles).

1.2- Sun Safety is a really important thing to have in mind if you live is Australia, Australia is a very hot place, UVA rays are the rays that can give you sunburn, skin damage and the worst of them all....skin cancer (melanoma). The estimated amount of deaths is 1,281 (825 Males and 456 Females) in 2022. But the overall estimate of deaths conducted by skin cancer is 2,000 a year!

3.1- I have talked about a lot of the bad things that could happen when you don't know about sun protection in 'Sun Safety Introduction', there is a lot of consequences and downfalls about not keeping your skin protected. It makes some ones life really hard if they have cancer and can impact them very negatively, but you don't want that for your future, you want your skin to be healthy so you need to protect it.
