Ireland isn't know for it's sunny weather, so you may be shocked to read that skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland, with over 13,000 new cases diagnosed every year, according to the Irish Cancer Society.
The National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCRI) expects this number to double by 2040.
9 out of every 10 cases are caused by UV rays from the sun or sunbeds, which means that proper skin protection can prevent skin cancer from developing in many cases.
