The heatwave is here ☀️🔥 Think you’re using enough SPF? You might be shocked! 👀
 
Dr Tina, Consultant Dermatologist, is sharing her top seven sunscreen sins she sees all the time 👇
 
💙 Are you putting enough sunscreen on?
💙 Do you let your sunscreen set before applying makeup?
💙 Do you just check the SPF or look at the star rating too?
💙 Applying once a day isn’t enough. Are you reapplying as needed?
💙 Using a stick or pump? Are you actually applying enough?
💙 Do you wear SPF indoors? 🏠
💙 Relying on your makeup alone for SPF protection? 💄
 
Enjoy the sunshine ☀️ and stay protected 🧴✨

Proudly awarded Silver Gilt by @the_rhs, congratulations to @YoungMindsUK, @chase_gardens, @project.giving.back, @bupafoundation, and everyone who worked so hard to make this happen.

The RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2026 is here🌿

We’re proud to support the YoungMinds Garden with the Bupa Foundation 💙 With this garden, we’re helping shine a light on the mental health emergency facing young people today.

With so many pressures, connection matters more than ever. Our designer, Charlie Chase, has drawn from his own experience as a young gardener navigating mental health challenges, transforming that experience into a space for reflection, hope and healing.

Alongside incredible young gardeners recruited through YoungMinds, this garden is a reminder that time in nature can be crucial for our mental health. 🌱

After The Chelsea Flower Show, our garden will move to Newham in East London, where it will become a living, breathing space for young people and the local community.

Self care isn’t one size fits all.

For some, it’s a long walk or a workout. For others it’s quiet time, journaling, or simply switching off.

However it looks for you, taking time to do what helps you reset really matters.

What does self care look like for you? Tell us in the comments👇

Do you need to take a multivitamin during prostate cancer treatment?

In this video, a specialist dietitian from Cromwell Hospital shares practical, evidence based guidance on multivitamins during cancer treatment - helping to clear up common questions and misconceptions.

Every person’s needs are different, and what’s right for one patient may not be right for another. That’s why personalised advice from a healthcare professional is so important.

Bupa has partnered with Prostate Cancer UK with the aim to make a real difference in men’s prostate health.

Together, they want to break down the stigma and embarrassment that can stop men from getting the help they need early.

PCOS has officially been renamed PMOS;Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome.

While the change may seem subtle, it reflects something significant.

For years, the term “polycystic ovaries” suggested a condition limited to reproductive health. In reality, many women don’t have cysts, and the impact extends far beyond fertility.

PMOS recognises this for what it is, a complex whole body endocrine and metabolic condition.

It can influence hormones, weight, skin, cycles, mood, and longer-term health, including insulin resistance, cardiovascular risk, and liver health.

Approximately 1 in 10 women are affected.

This change matters because it supports a more complete approach to care, and looks beyond isolated symptoms to the full clinical picture.

If you’ve ever felt your symptoms or experience have previously been dismissed, please go and see your GP for a review.

There are many reasons why people feel anxious about visiting the dentist. If you are affected by this, please know you are definitely not alone. In recognition of #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, dentist Attal is here to share some advice on how to ease those nerves and ensure your visit goes as smoothly as possible. 💙

Sunbeds are really bad for your health. Many people incorrectly think that using a sunbed is safer than getting a tan from direct sunlight, but that’s not true. Sunbeds use ultraviolet (UV) rays the sun also produces these, so sunbeds are just as risky.

UV rays are the third biggest cause of cancer in the UK and can lead to the deadliest form of skin cancer melanoma.

Using a sunbed will always increase your risk of developing skin cancer, but the risk is higher in some people. For example, if you:

💙 Are fair skinned

💙 Have skin that burns quickly

💙 Have freckles or many moles

💙 Have lighter coloured eyes or hair

💙 Have a family history of sunburn or skin cancer

Ultimately, there aren’t any safe ways to use sunbeds. If you like the tanned look, using a fake bottled version is the way to go.

A tan from sunbeds or the direct sun is a sign that your skin is damaged. UV radiation damages your skin cells, making you look older, and puts you at higher risk of developing skin cancer.

Get to know what’s normal for your skin and always make sure to protect it, especially if you’ve used sunbeds or have been sunburned in the past.
