Beauty or The Burn? Get ready and sunsmart for summer
Summer is in full swing, bringing with it longer days, loads of sun, laziness and the desire to just sit back. But that doesn’t mean you should stop looking after yourself; during these months, your skin and hair will get a lot of abuse from the harsh sun, we neglect our exercise routine, wanting to rest and take a break, and we ignore our health while indulging on festive goodies.
Most importantly, you need to avoid the burn by wearing sunscreen. Helping prevent skin cancer and protecting you from all other sun damage, sunscreen should be your go-to.
It’s always possible to get back on track, and we got some recommendations to help you make sure your body is ready for this summer.

Summer skin health checks
MoleMap offers New Zealand’s most trusted and accurate skin cancer early detection programme. Enjoy summer safe in the knowledge you’ve had your skin checked by the very best.
Not only is melanoma one of New Zealand’s most prevalent cancers, we have the highest incidence in the world. Any sun damage to skin increases melanoma risk, so it pays to be vigilant.
Nearly 50% of all melanomas first appear on unmarked skin, not as a pre-existing mole or lesion. So it’s important to know the signs of disease and where to get expert advice and treatment.
The good news is that melanoma is nearly curable when detected and treated early, so don’t delay in seeking specialist advice.
Regular screening is the key to good skin health. Book an appointment today.
