Free skin sun damage check in Southampton
Friday, June 18th, 2010
If you’re located near Southampton, are aged 45 or over and want to take advantage of a free skin sun damage check, then head to the West Quay shopping centre on Monday 21st or Tuesday 22nd June.
As part of Skin Awareness Week, the Skin Check pod will be located on the lower level of the Southampton shopping centre between 10am and 4pm on both days. Amongst the experts on hand to help check your skin will be Dr Dawn Harper and Dr Pixie McKenna, from Channel 4′s Embarrassing Bodies series.
The event is primarily aimed at those over 45 who may have a history of over exposure to the sun, or repeated incidents of sunburn, as both of these can be risk factors for skin cancer. Spotting potential skin changes early on is crucial in the battle against skin cancer, so it’s well worth getting your skin checked if you could be at risk.
