With skin cancer rates on the rise globally \u2013 and with our own sun-drenched climate \u2013 it&#8217;s more important than ever to protect yourself from the dangers of the sun. While time outdoors is great for overall health, excessive sun exposure comes with its own set of risks. The good news? Staying sun smart doesn&#8217;t mean you need to stay inside all day. It&#8217;s simply about being aware and taking a few sensible precautions. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fedhealth.co.za\/\">Fedhealth<\/a> shares five simple ways your family can stay sun smart while still enjoying the benefits of the great outdoors:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-47226 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash-267x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"267\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash-267x400.jpg 267w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash-684x1024.jpg 684w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash-696x1043.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/kateryna-hliznitsova-eGxjNtUx_U0-unsplash.jpg 721w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 267px) 100vw, 267px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong> Use a broad spectrum sunscreen<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the most effective ways to protect your skin from UV damage is to apply broad-spectrum sunscreen regularly. This type of sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays, which are responsible for both skin ageing and sunburn. As a rule of thumb, opt for a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30, and reapply it every two hours, especially after swimming or sweating.<\/p>\n<p>When choosing a sunscreen, look for one that&#8217;s water-resistant and safe for children and sensitive skin so that your whole family can use it. Be generous with applying it too \u2013 most people don&#8217;t apply nearly enough sunscreen to get the full SPF benefit. A good guideline is to use around 30ml for your entire body, and a teaspoon for your face alone.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that sunscreen isn&#8217;t just for beach days. Even on cloudy days, up to 80% of UV rays can penetrate through clouds, so make applying sunscreen part of your daily routine like brushing your teeth.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong> Dress for protection<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Clothing plays a vital role in sun protection. To help reduce UV exposure, wear long-sleeved breathable fabrics like cotton or linen in lighter colours, which reflect rather than absorb heat. Dark colours might look great, but they absorb more UV radiation, so save the black t-shirt for evening wear.<\/p>\n<p>Wide-brimmed hats that cover your face, ears and neck are also a must. While caps may look cool, they leave your ears and neck exposed, so they&#8217;re not ideal for serious sun protection when you\u2019re outside for hours on end. And don&#8217;t forget sunglasses \u2013 your eyes need protection too. Look for sunglasses that block 99-100% of both UVA and UVB rays.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong> Stay out of the sun during peak hours<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>The sun&#8217;s rays are most intense between 10am and 4pm, so try to reduce your sun exposure during these peak hours and rather plan your outdoor activities for early morning or late afternoon. When you are spending time outside, seek shade whenever possible. Either find a shady spot where you are, or take an umbrella or canopy that you can set up. If you absolutely must be in direct sunlight during these hours (for example, you\u2019re playing sport), double down on other protective measures such as sunscreen, hats and clothing.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong> Get your skin checked regularly<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Regular skin checks are a fundamental part of sun safety, and catching potential problems early can literally save your life. Check your and your children&#8217;s skin at least once a month for any new or changing moles or spots. It&#8217;s also important to teach your children to be aware of their skin and understand what to look for, so teach them to do their own skin checks regularly and let you know if they see any changes.<\/p>\n<p>Make skin checks part of your family\u2019s routine, perhaps after bath time once a month, so it becomes a normal part of life rather than something to worry about.<\/p>\n<p>If you do notice any suspicious changes, consult your GP or skin specialist as soon as you can. It&#8217;s also worth scheduling an annual professional skin check with a dermatologist, especially if you have a history of sunburns, a family history of skin cancer or you have lots of moles or freckles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-47228\" src=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-400x267.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/getitmagazine.co.za\/highway-berea\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/23\/2026\/01\/getty-images-tWdVrG8pe4w-unsplash.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong> Lead by example<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Children learn from their parents&#8217; behaviours, and sun safety is no exception. To instil sun-smart habits, lead by example. When you do things like apply sunscreen or wear a hat or protective clothing, your children are more likely to adopt these behaviours themselves. It can also help to involve your children in the process: let them pick out a funky hat or a favourite sunscreen that they like the smell of. When children feel ownership over their sun safety routine, they&#8217;re more likely to stick with it.<\/p>\n<p>As we focus on Skin Cancer Awareness Month this January, it&#8217;s a good time to prioritise sun safety for the rest of the year as well. By adopting these simple sun-smart strategies, you can significantly reduce your risk of skin cancer while still enjoying fresh air and time in nature. Remember, protecting yourself from the sun doesn&#8217;t mean you can&#8217;t enjoy summer \u2013 it just means you&#8217;re being smart about how you enjoy it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a new year rolls around, January is an important marker in the middle of our South African summer: it\u2019s Skin Cancer Awareness Month.
