Press Release Body:

As the nation flocks outdoors to enjoy the warmth of the summer, First Aid Warehouse are offer fabulous prices on the Burnshield range of emergency burn care products ideal for treating sunburn and those barbecue burns!

On gorgeous sunny days, the skin comes out, the barbecues come out and by the end of the day, the red sore patches and blisters do too! It\'s very important that care be taken in the sun but people rarely do. A lot of people are guilty of purposely not using any skin protection so that they can get that lovely tan, and a lot of people don\'t use any protection because they simply forget or don\'t realise how strong the sun\'s rays are. These people often end up with sunburn.

Excessive exposure to UV rays (ultra violet radiation) doesn\'t just burn your skin, leaving you sore, red, flaky or blistering, it is an important risk factor in the development of skin cancer. Each year around 8000 people in the UK are diagnosed with malignant melanoma and the numbers are on the increase. Of course protection against the damaging UV rays is key, and Cancer Research UK are promoting this with the SunSmart Campaign but if you do burn, how would you treat it?

First Aid Warehouse is the official online distributor of Burnshield, a specialist emergency burn care range of products that have been designed to offer effective, fast acting cooling relief to burn injuries. Burnshield products absorb and dissipate heat, minimises shock and skin damage and reduces infection in open burn wounds. As the UK\'s premier online supplier of medical equipment and accessories, they stock Burnshield products and a range of other burn care and first aid products.
