Protect Your Skin This Summer with SunPlay Australia!

Summer and sunburn used to go hand in hand. Not anymore! The Cancer Council's Slip, Slop, Slap campaign in Australia has proven highly effective, leading to a significant decrease in melanoma rates over the past 20 years. More recently, the Cancer Council has added "Seek" (shade) and "Slide" (on sunglasses) to the original messages of slipping (on the shirt) and slapping (on the hat).

Finding shade on Australian beaches can be quite a challenge, so we need to adapt to the unique environment in which we live. SunPlay Australia beach tents provide the shade you’re seeking, helping you avoid sunburn when used alongside your other sun protection essentials. You can create your own tropical oasis in seconds! Our beach tents are certified with an impressive 50+ SPF rating, ensuring that you look great while staying safe.

It’s important to remember that all types of sunburn, whether mild or severe, can cause permanent and irreversible skin damage. This damage can lay the groundwork for skin cancers to develop, and further sunburn only increases your risk. Sadly, over 2,000 Australians die from skin cancer each year.

Sunburn Facts:

• Sunburn can occur in less than 15 minutes and, depending on severity, may take days or even weeks to heal.
• There is no immediate cure for sunburn symptoms—just time and patience.
• Mild sunburn can be treated at home, but severe and blistered sunburn requires prompt medical attention.
• Excessive UV exposure can permanently damage your skin and lead to serious conditions like malignant melanoma.
• Every time your skin is exposed to UV radiation, your risk of developing skin cancer increases.

With these facts in mind, and the long hot Australian summer only months away, protecting yourself and your family against the relentless sun is absolutely vital. Avoid the burn and remember to Slip, Slop, Slap, Seek, and Slide this summer!
