Sun safety is something we all know about by now, but have you considered hand safety in the sun? We have your paws covered.
Have you ever heard a suntan referred to as an 'injury' or a 'scar'? We have and we listen.
There are no excuses for not listening to good sun care advice anymore.
We all know that it is damaging to our skin and we hope you all take care and wear SPF every day.
If you do heed the good advice and wear SPF daily, do you consider hand safety in the sun?
By hand safety, we don't mean wrist pads. No, no, just an invisible, anti-ageing layer of protection.
It's found in the form of hand cream, expensive hand cream at that.
You can pick up hand cream for a fiver if you just want something to moisten your dry hands.
A run-of-the-mill hand cream will give you comfort and maybe some hydration. But is that enough?
Our hands are the second most exposed parts of our body after our faces.
They are subjected to UV rays pretty much all day every day.

We apply sunscreen to our faces every day for fear of sun damage or sun spots appearing but do we look after our sun-beaten hands the same way?
