Year round protection
While many associate sun protection with the summer months, UV rays pose a risk throughout the entire year, even on cloudy days. Consistent exposure without adequate protection can lead to cumulative skin damage, increasing the risk of skin cancer and premature aging.
Eucerin provides dermatological solutions to help protect and nurture your skin. Skin cancer remains the most prevalent form of cancer in Ireland, with more than 11,000 new cases diagnosed annually. Alarmingly, the National Cancer Registry of Ireland anticipates this number will double by 2040.
Notably, nine out of every ten cases are attributed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun or sunbeds.
A Eucerin spokesperson said: “Eucerin is committed to providing effective sun protection solutions tailored to diverse skin needs.
