Now, five years later it's all good, but I am much more careful about exposing my body to the sun. I've learned everything I need to know to protect my skin and allow it to rebuild and recover.

Your Story Series: Meet Andrew

"I'm big advocate for sun safety, so I'm very proactive with looking after my skin. I'm always pushing my friends and family to be more sun safe, I think most know the effects of the sun, but not to the extent they should. Most don't seem to understand the UV index, and how quickly you can get burnt in the middle of the day. There's still a long way to go for sun safety education!"
