This Summer, Remember Sunscreen on the Worksite

This Summer, Remember Sunscreen on the Worksite

As we reach the sunnier period of the year, it's essential to pay attention to your skin's protection, especially if you’re spending extended periods of time working outdoors.

Sunscreen isn't just for a trip to the beach, nor should it be reserved for particularly sweltering days. When the weather warms up, sunscreen is a vital tool in safeguarding your skin from the harmful effects of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

It’s important to choose a high-quality sunscreen which has been specifically designed for long hours on the worksite. At TFX, we’re huge fans of the top-notch ProBloc SPF 50+ Very High Protection Sunscreen Lotion 

The Crucial Role of Sunscreen

The sun emits ultraviolet (UV) rays that can cause various skin issues, including sunburn, premature ageing, and even skin cancer. If you’ve grown up in Australia, you are likely well-acquainted with the odd bit of sunburn on a particularly hot day. 

However, if you find yourself under the sun every day, it's an entirely different beast – damage from UV exposure is cumulative and increases your skin cancer risk over time. So if you’re a builder or tradie who works long hours in the heat, sunburn is nothing to brush off. You’re at tangible risk of developing skin cancer, and while applying sunscreen may be an annoyance, it is well worth it.

Sunscreen acts as a protective barrier against harmful rays, absorbing or reflecting them and preventing them from penetrating your skin.

ProBloc SPF 50+ Very High Protection Sunscreen Lotion

For those who are serious about sun protection, TFX recommends ProBloc very high-protection sunscreen. As its name suggests, ProBloc offers very high protection, effectively shielding your skin from 98% of UV rays. This ensures your skin stays safe even in the most intense sun.

ProBloc is easy to apply, absorbs quickly, and is specially formulated to be water-resistant for up to 4 hours. This makes it a practical choice, even if you’re prone to heavy perspiration. It also includes nourishing ingredients such as aloe vera and vitamin D, ensuring it soothes and hydrates your skin as well as protecting it.

Finally, ProBloc is tested and recommended by dermatologists, ensuring its safety and effectiveness for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

There are many different sunscreen products on the market, and if you’ve had bad experiences with sunscreen that is chalky or non-protective, you’ve probably tried cheaper, low-quality products. Skin cancer is a deadly disease, and when it comes to your health, it's always important to invest in a quality product.
