Week 1 BOC: Slip! Slap! Slop!

 
Slip! Slap! Slop! Is a brand that really carry’s out their product as well as care for the consumer themselves (Literally). When we were little tykes we always found some sort of rhyme to help ourselves remember that we have to eat our vegetables, clean our room, or do the laundry. When Slip Slap Slop came along it was almost the only thing that people couldn’t go without. Because of the catchy phrase kids and adults alike were able to remember to put on their sunscreen before heading out in the hot sun. This was especially famous in the summer when kids would come home with sunburns and red skin. Slip Slap Slop actually teaches you to become wary of them sun. An example is Slip meaning slipping on your clothes, Slap to put some sunglasses or a hat on, and slap to cover the remaining parts of your body with the sunscreen to protect yourselves from the harmful rays of the sun. There are also theories saying that the sunscreen is actually bad for you says Improve Health, 

“The Sun, we were told (just like so many other natural things)  is bad for you; so you need to “slip on a shirt, slop on some sunscreen and slap on a hat”.

“The sunscreen part firstly has been called into serious question. Do you know that if you use a sunscreen you are more than 80% more likely to develop a melanoma than someone who doesn’t.”

“Melanomas are the most lethal form of skin cancer. Melanomas  have been increasing in incidence continuously since 1983 across all age groups in spite of everyone slipping, slopping, and slapping”

What Improve Health is trying to say is if you don’t get exposure to the sun, you may experience a lethal form of skin cancer, which is really bad. Overall this cause quite a controversy which is really whether to use the sunscreen or not.
