With the hot weather returning to Edinburgh, it's important to remember to use SPF to avoid sun damage of the skin.
Over-exposing our skin to UV rays increases the risk of skin cancer. As the heatwave hits the capital and extreme heat warnings are in place around the UK, Cancer Research has issued an urgent warning over skin cancer risk.
The warning urges men in the UK to take particular care of their skin during the heatwave, as research estimates that six men a day - 1,400 a year - die due to melanoma skin cancer. Typically the cancer can develop where skin has been exposed to sunlight, including the scalp, face, lips, ears, neck, chest, arms and hands, as well as legs.
