When average UV levels are 3 and above sun protection is required. At this level, the UV radiation is strong enough to damage the skin and eyes.
When the UV Index reaches 3 and above, using a combination of five steps to protect against sun damage is recommended:
SLIP on some sun-protective clothing that covers 
as much skin as possible.
SLOP on SPF30+ sunscreen – make sure it is broad spectrum and water resistant. Apply 20 minutes before you go outdoors and reapply every two hours.
SLAP on a hat that protects your face, head, neck and ears
SEEK shade.
SLIDE on some sunglasses.
By taking these steps you can:
– minimise freckling, wrinkling and ageing of the skin.
– minimise the risk of eye damage.
– avoid sunburn and tanning.
– reduce your lifetime UV exposure.
– ultimately reduce your skin cancer risk.
The following are some typical activities where sunburn and tanning occur:
– working outdoors
– playing or watching sport
– attending outdoor event or festival
– around water
– in the car
Protecting your family
When the UV level reaches 3 and above, babies under 12 months should not be exposed to direct UV and should be well protected from the sun.
Sun protection for people with naturally dark skin
People with naturally very dark skin still need to take care in the sun even though they may rarely, if ever, get sunburned.

We’re pleased to be working with the Bermuda Hospitals Charitable Trust to help with the “Why It Matters” campaign in support of building a new hospital for Bermuda.
For over a century, King Edward VII Memorial Hospital has been our hospital, in sickness and in health. But today, we need to make our great hospital even better, in order to take care of our increasing population and manage a rising volume of chronic diseases.
Why have the best healthcare? Look around you. It’s about your cousins in the next parish and your family in the next room. It’s about the older couple who live down the road and the young boy riding his bike up the sidewalk. It’s about us, people who call Bermuda home.
You may have noticed community – and especially family-based themes running through our radio ads, and now we’re cranking it up another notch. The outcome of the “Why It Matters” campaign really does touch all of us.
“As a family business we can see the importance of a new hospital for Bermuda’s families and their future grandchildren, the next generation”.
We’re proud to lend our support to the Why It Matters campaign. Rebuilding KEMH hospital is a project that will benefit each and every member of our island community so there really is no better way for companies and individuals to give back to Bermuda.
This is Why It Matters—and why our support and your support matters now.

Shark Watermelon Carving
Materials
- 1 oblong, seeded watermelon
- Dry erase marker
- Large knife
- Smaller utility knife
- Large spoon
- Paring knife (you can use the tip of a vegetable peeler)
- 2 large marbles, or other (cherry, blueberry, red grape, etc)
- Toothpicks or wooden skewers
- Swedish fish candies for garnish
Instructions
- Wash and dry the watermelon.
- Cut off 1/3 of the watermelon at a diagonal angle.
- Stand the remaining 2/3 upright on your work surface and use a dry erase marker to draw the mouth line and eye sockets.
- Cut out the mouth. Trim back a ½” line of the green part of the rind for the teeth area.
- Use a large spoon to scoop out the watermelon flesh, leaving 3″ intact at the base.
- Cut out the teeth, using a smaller utility knife.
- Use melon baller to cut out the eye sockets that match the size of large marbles. Then use a paring knife to trim the green area around the eyes. Insert marbles.
- Use the carved out rind from the mouth to make the dorsal fin, shape as shown in the picture. Attach the fin using toothpicks.
- Fill the mouth with triangle shapes of watermelon, accented with Swedish fish.
