Tips on how to maintain healthy skin

At Solbari, we know that prevention is the best cure when it comes to keeping skin healthy and protecting skin against the risks of melanoma and skin cancer.

There are many ways to stay safe in the sun, make positive skin choices and embrace a life outdoors.

Here are our tips to healthy, protected skin all year round:

1. Wear sunscreen daily - Choose a broad-spectrum SPF50+ daily. Broad-spectrum sunscreens block UVA and UBA rays and are best applied generously on all exposed areas of skin 20 minutes before exposure, and reapplied every throughout the day, especially if you’ve been swimming or sweating.
2. Choose UPF50+ fabrics - engineered to protect you, UPF50+ certified fabrics offer the highest sun protection on the market, blocking up to 98% of UV rays from reaching the skin. Here at Solbari, every product is tested and rated UPF50+ by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA), the gold standard in UV protection testing.

3. Opt for broad brim protection - stay safe in style with a UPF50+ broad brim hat that offers shade to the face, ears and neck.
4. Make skin checking a regular habit - keep track of your skin spots and moles in between dermatologist or GP visits, with our Skin Check App powered by Skin Vision. Check & catalogue changes in your skin at home with 95% accuracy.
5. Seek shade when possible - remember that even on cloudy days, 80% of UV rays can still pass through the clouds. Heat is not equal to UV and even on cooler days, the UV can still be strong and sun protection is recommended.

Skin damage that can lead to potential melanomas and skin cancers is cumulative, making small changes to your daily habits can improve your skin health and vitality for years to come.
