Lack of protection against UV one of the leading causes of skin cancers
We're being warned to ensure we protect against harmful UV rays, as the Isle of Man sees more warmer spells in the build up to summer.
Private GP Dr Roger Dixon is recommending at least factor 30, but also use of hats, long clothes and sunglasses.
He says the rate at which people are being diagnosed with skin cancers is increasing year on year.
And has this advice:
Cancer Research UK states:
UV 1-2: No sun protection needed.
UV 3-7: Moderate to high levels - consider protecting your skin.
UV 8-9+: Very high levels - everyone should protect their skin.
