Think you’re sun safe? Take the quiz

To protect your skin from harmful UV radiation we recommend following the five sun safe steps.  

1. Slip on some sun-protective clothing – aim to find something loose fitting that covers as much skin as possible. 
2. Slop on SPF 50 or SPF50+, broad-spectrum, water-resistant sunscreen. Put it on 20 minutes before you go outdoors and every two hours afterwards.  
3. Slap on a hat – broad brim or bucket style hats work best so you can protect your face, head, neck and ears. 
4. Seek shade under a shelter, umbrella or tree. 
5. Slide on some sunglasses – make sure they meet Australian Standards.
