British tourists given travel advice on sun protection
Tourists have been given travel advice on how to stay protected in the sun.
According to the British Skin Foundation, people should always cover up when in the sunshine and use protection.
Spokesperson Bevis Man said that people should even put sun cream on when it does not look sunny, including when they are in the UK.
Sunshine of this level "is more than strong enough to burn you", it was noted.
"It's better to be safe than sorry and follow the simple rules of applying sunscreen, covering up and wearing a hat when you're out in the sun," the expert added.
The British Skin Foundation stated that it is important for holidaymakers to take care of their skin when exposed to sunshine, as a means of preventing the development of skin cancer.
It revealed that this disease is a growing problem in the UK and a person will die from it every four hours in Britain.
A new case is also diagnosed as often as every four minutes.
Travellers can use CallUma's Pass The Phone service, which will allow them to access a translation facility to help them communicate their sun protection needs when abroad.
