Show Notes
Australia has the highest skin cancer rates in the world - with one person here diagnosed with melanoma every 30 minutes. Last year alone, 17,000 people were diagnosed. Social media is adding to the problem with ‘suntanning’ now trending on TikTok and Instagram. So, how do we drive down the numbers when so many people are obsessed with tanning?
In this episode, we’re joined by Samantha Brett, who has created her own range of sun protection products to encourage Australians to protect themselves as part of their everyday routine. We also speak to Melissa Mason who is lobbying for the federal government to BAN sun tanning products.
