MAF’s Health Tips

It is important to always be sun safe. To be aware of the dangers of the sun and to protect ourselves and our love ones from the damaging effects of the sun. We live in Qld so the outdoors is always our enjoyment and not to be taken away from. So to protect ourselves follow these simple guide lines while enjoying our “sunshine state”
  1. Always wear sun protection clothing, especially during the hours of 10am and 3pm
  2. Always wear sunscreen with the highest possible uv protection and apply regularly
  3. Always wear a hat, a broad rim hat that covers your face, ears and nose
  4. Always wear your sunglasses to protect your eyes from the damaging sun rays
  5. Always try to seek shade protection from the sun, especially during the hours of 10am & 2pm
  6. Always be conscious of you and your love ones skin, and if you notice any, even the slightest change, get it check by your doctor. In this case “If in doubt, DO!”
