My Advice On Why Adding Promotional Sun Care Products To Your Merchandise Giveaways Will Make Your Event A Hit

Is Suncare Important In The UK?

The UK is known mainly for its overcast weather, but even on cloudy days, UV radiation still poses a significant risk of skin damage. Even through the clouds and dull weather often seen in Our Bristish climate, UV rays can still harm you as they can penetrate the cloud cover, and lead to skin damage. Taking due care in the sun is imperative to a good summer event.

Are There Health Risks Associated With UV Radiation and Sun Exposure?

Sun exposure without protection increases the risk of skin cancer and premature ageing. You can significantly reduce this risk by taking simple steps like wearing sunscreen and protective clothing. The types of skin cancers that can develop include melanoma, basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinoma. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), excessive UV exposure is responsible for most skin cancers.

Care in the sun should be a considerable consideration for event organisers, especially during the Summer months.

"In the UK, during June, it can take as little as 15 to 30 minutes for an average person with fair skin to get sunburned when the UV index is high (typically around midday). The strength of UV rays, which are the primary cause of sunburn, varies throughout the day and can penetrate clouds, making sun protection necessary even on overcast days​ "(Cancer Research UK)​​ (nhs.uk)​

"The UV index in the UK often reaches levels of 3 or higher between mid-March and mid-October, indicating a moderate to high risk of skin damage from sun exposure. When the UV index is 3 or above, it’s advisable to seek shade, wear protective clothing, and apply sunscreen​" (Cancer Research UK - Cancer News)​​ (The Skin Cancer Foundation)​.

Do You Need UV Lens Protection For Sunglasses In The UK?

Even on cloudy days, especially during Summer and at high elevations, UV rays can harm your vision. Too much exposure to UV rays in the eye increases the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration, leading to vision loss. UV harm can also impact the sensitive areas around the eye and prevent skin cancers such as squamous cell carcinoma. Wearing sunglasses with UV protection can help mitigate these risks. Why not invest in promotional sunglasses offering your event attendees eye protection, help them maintain good eye health and make it easier to enjoy your event by reducing eye strain from bright conditions? Promotional sunglasses offer a practical and fashionable item that recipients will use regularly, ensuring consistent brand visibility. Gifting printed sunglasses with UV protection highlights a brand’s commitment to health and quality, fostering positive brand associations and keeping your message in focus with every use.
