A key priority for skin cancer prevention technology should be to understand the factors that reduce the incidence of sunburn. In our study, 31% of the participants reported one or more sunburns during the festival, which is similar to previous estimates showing 26% of Australian adolescents aged 12-17 years reported being sunburnt on summer weekends [ 39]. Many participants in this study reporting sunburns also reported wearing and reapplying sunscreen, suggesting sunscreen was not applied sufficiently to provide adequate UV protection. The reasons that people may receive an unintended sunburn after sunscreen use has been explored using qualitative interviews, which showed adults overestimated the amount of time they could safely be exposed to the sun and not reapplying sunscreen often enough, especially during water-based activities [ 40]. This study was based on a beach environment that may involve swimming, and this requires more frequent sunscreen applications. The wearable UV sensor was worn by almost all participants for the duration of the study, highlighting the robustness of the device. Choose a good sunscreen. When Which? tested adult SPF30 and kids SPF50 sun creams, we found that some provided reliable protection against UVA and UVB rays and were easy to apply, but others failed to offer the protection they claimed. Don't take any chances – read up on our Best sun creams for 2023. While it's important to keep topping up the suncream, here are a few more tips on how we can properly protect ourselves and our little ones from the sun's rays.

Don't forget to stay hydrated. Drinking plenty of water can help to prevent heatstroke, as well as helping sunburn to heal.

UVR data were recorded using a UV-Biometer model 501 (Solar Light Co), and data were displayed using the UV index scale. The standard erythemal dose (SED) was also calculated using daily summaries and hourly observations recorded at 10 AM and at noon. The UVR data were captured by the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency detector (Gold Coast, latitude 28 oS, 153 oE). Spend time in the shade. This is especially important between 11am and 3pm, even if you're in the UK, because this is the peak time for getting burnt. Use a gazebo or beach umbrella if you're sitting in the sun. Boots Soltan, exclusively available in Boots stores nationwide and at boots.com, has been at the forefront of sun protection developments since it launched in 1939. In 1992, Boots UK introduced the UK’s first (and only) UVA star rating system, which has become widely used across the industry. Still continuously improving its range using the latest technology, Boots Soltan is committed to bringing the best sun protection for all individual needs.Participants who reported seeking a deliberate suntan in the previous year were more likely to report a sunburn during the outdoor festival (75% vs 57%; P=.02; Multimedia Appendix 2). Participants who reported a sunburn were also more likely to have not worn the wearable UV sensor (9% vs 2%; P=.05; Multimedia Appendix 2). Advice is generally to reapply generously and often, at least every two hours, and after activities such as swimming or where you get sweaty, paying special attention to frequently forgotten or more exposed areas. Every single parent will know the struggle that comes with properly protecting your kids against the sun during the summer. No matter how many times you swore that you plastered them in sunscreen, they will still occasionally get a bit of sunburn.

Cover up. Don't rely on sun cream alone. Wear a T-shirt to cover typically over-exposed areas, such as the shoulders, plus a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses to protect your face and eyes. Loretta Ciraldo, MD, a board-certified dermatologist based in Miami and the founder of Dr. Loretta Skincare.The signal to reapply is triggered by an underlying UV detection layer, which measures the UVA & UVB exposure using photosensitive dyes. Just place one on your child's arm and it'll let you know when their suncream is wearing off – and just WHEN you need to top it up again. Genius. Dr Sharp says: 'Too much exposure to UV radiation from the sun is the main cause of skin cancer, but we can take steps to reduce the risk.' These include: Health promotion; Melanoma; Preventive medicine; Public health; Skin neoplasms; Smartphones; Sunburn; Sunlight; Sunscreening agents; Web applications. A 2020 survey by Cancer Research UK found that more than half of UK parents (52%) said that applying sunscreen frequently enough or applying enough of it were among their main challenges when it came to protecting their child in the sun.

UVA star rating system shows how much protection a product has, and all Boots Soltan sun care comes with five stars, being the highest level. There is a pediatrician approved formula especially for babes and a variety of products that offer more than just sun protection, such as sun creams with added insect repellent, and a face range with added anti-ageing complex, Boots Soltan also has a broad after sun range to soothe moisturize and cool. The proportion of cloud cover in the sky above the Surfers Paradise beach was recorded twice a day in the morning between 8 AM and 10 AM and in the afternoon between 2 PM and 4 PM. Images of the sky above the beach were captured using a fixed camera maintained by Coastalwatch [ 28]. The proportion of cloud cover in each image was counted using ImageJ software [ 29], as described previously [ 20]. All field trial image analysis and quantification procedures were performed blind to the image ID.Sunscreen use was commonly reported in the follow-up survey, with 88.3% (166/188) of participants applying sunscreen one or more times during the day at the outdoor festival ( Table 4). Most participants who reported being sunburned also reported applying sunscreen (51/59, 86%), and just under half of those sunburnt reported reapplying sunscreen two or more times per day (27/59, 46%). In adolescents, clothing choices are mostly influenced by fashion trends rather than sun protection [ 8]. A survey of young female beachgoers aged 17-35 years in Australia found that their sun protection at the beach was influenced by being uncomfortable or unstylish and whether friends or peers approved of their sun safe behavior [ 37]. In our study, sun protective clothing such as long-sleeve shirts or hats did not improve during the festival, whereas the use of sunglasses did. The use of long-sleeved shirts may not be considered fashionable or practical in hot environments, and hat hair after using a hat, which can negatively alter a hairstyle, has previously been cited as a barrier to hat use in adolescents [ 8]. To effectively target sun protection behavior in youth culture, further interventions may need to focus on changing adolescents’ perceptions of what is healthy and fashionable [ 38]. There's another heatwave on the way and, while it's great news for families who want to get out in the sun, it's more important than ever to make sure our kids are cool and topped up with suncream. And with the summer holidays officially here, many families with holidays abroad planned may be wondering how they can keep the little ones sunburn free -and it looks like Boots shoppers have found the answer. Don't be fooled by cloud. Getting sunburnt doesn't just happen on the hottest days – you can still get burnt when it's cloudy.

Adherence to the intervention device was high, with 95.7% (180/188) of the participants wearing the wearable UV sensor during the outdoor festival ( Multimedia Appendix 2). Over 73.4% (138/188) of the participants found the wearable UV sensor helpful to remind them to apply sunscreen, whereas 16.5% (31/188) reported that it was not helpful and 10.1% (19/188) were unsure. Over 83.5% (157/188) of the participants would like to have this product included on wristbands for future daytime outdoor festivals. On a scale from 1 (not at all satisfied) to 10 (extremely satisfied), participants’ mean satisfaction score was high at 8.1 (range 2-10; Multimedia Appendix 2). This summer, it should be easier than ever to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, with plenty of products and dermatologist-approved tips below to help minimize overexposure and possible damage.
