Now that summer has started, we like to be outside and soak up the sun. But the sunlight can also be dangerous. Sun burn at a young age doubles the chance of getting melanoma, a type of skin cancer. The Dutch Melanoma Foundation commits itself to, among other things, preventing skin cancer. The Blue Art Barn supports them by selling the NATHALIE bag and a special Dikkie Dik book.
Protect your skin
âEnjoy the sun, protect your skinâ. This slogan is used by the Dutch Melanoma Foundation and the Dutch Cancer Society to emphasize the importance of using sun cream. Sun burn at a young age can have disastrous results later on while skin cancer can mostly be prevented by good sun protection. Use these tips listed by the American Cancer Society and watch the video clip of âThe Cream Teamâ on the website of the Dutch Melanoma Foundation. The book Dikkie Dik and the Smear Cat playfully explains the dangers of the sun and how to protect yourself from them; it is perfect for parents with young children. The book was published by the Dutch Melanoma Foundation and its profits are used to organize activities to prevent skin cancer.
