TheConversation: The iconic “Slip Slop Slap”
campaign was launched in Australia in 1981. Sid the Seagull encouraged
people to slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen and slap on a hat to
minimise ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure and reduce the risk of
sunburn and skin cancer. In 2007, the slogan was updated to “Slip Slop Slap Seek Slide”.
So now it includes seeking shade and sliding on sunglasses to further
reduce the risk of UV-related damage. This emphasises the importance of
protecting eyes – and the skin around them – from UV radiation.
