Is the sun safe?
1 Most people like a good suntan, but how many realise how dangerous the sun can be?
If you want to sunbathe, it is important to realise the dangers involved, and follow a few
simple rules to protect yourself.
2 First of all, the sun can make your skin drier and thicker. If you regularly spend time
with the sun shining directly on your skin, you will soon start to look older than you actually
are. Your face and neck are particularly sensitive.
3 But even if you don’t mind looking old, you should note that the ultra violet rays from
the sun can seriously damage your skin. If you don’t protect yourself, you risk getting skin
cancer. And skin cancer is a serious disease that cannot always be cured. Skin cancer is more
common than most people think. In the last 15 years, the number of cases has almost doubled.
And research suggests that two weeks of sunbathing a year will eventually increase your risk
of getting some kind of skin cancer. So, if you are going to sunbathe, there are several things
you have to be careful about.
4 You are especially at risk if you have blond hair and fair skin. Skin colour is very
important when we are talking about the risk of skin cancer. If you have fair skin and red or
fair hair, then you burn easily and are more at risk.
5 If you must sunbathe, do at least take some precautions:

First of all, you should avoid spending too much time in the sun. Try to stay in the sun as little
as possible. You shouldn’t leave your head and face unprotected. You should always wear a
hat and sunglasses to protect your face and especially your eyes, which are most sensitive.
You should always use a high factor sun lotion or sunscreen to keep away the dangerous rays.
If you really want to get a tan, you shouldn’t expect to get it all in one week, but should try to
get it gradually, over a longer period of time. It is better to sunbathe for ten minutes a day
over two or three weeks, than to stay in the sun for an hour each day for five days. Whatever
you do, you should never stay in the sun between eleven in the morning and three in the
afternoon, when the sun is most dangerous.
