Pharmacist issues sun cream warning
Thursday 10th June 2010
A pharmacist has responded to the findings of a new study on sun cream by saying they are a concern.
Research conducted by Superdrug revealed that a third of men in Britain risk their health by failing to put on such products.
Most of those who do not use the protection said it was because they never burn so therefore they do not need it.
Commenting on this approach, pharmacist Martin Crisp said it is "incredibly worrying".
He added that there is no excuse these days for ignorance about the product.
Mr Crisp went on to remark: "The dangers of sitting in the sun for any length of time without high factor creams are very real. Even a child knows not to go outside without sun cream."
The substance may be particularly necessary over the course of this summer, with some experts predicting it will be the hottest since 1976.
