There’s another really good skin cancer charity hoping to promote early detection with loads of information called skcin.

Doesn’t surprise me. I’m constantly amazed how blasé so many Brits are about the sun. Same with the heat. We just don’t take either seriously as a threat at all.
With climate change, we’re really going to need to change these attitudes.
It is weird that there is an increase considering over the last 10 years or so there has been a massive push of skin damage awareness along with much more emphasis on protecting oneself and staying in the shade. Could there be other factors (pardon the pun) involved? For example skincare cream ingredients increasing sensitivity to sunlight, similarly dietary supplements doing similar. Or maybe the ingredients of the sun protection creams themselves?
