Young people at sun risk. File photo dated 27/06/09 of a woman with sunburn as a third of young people are putting themselves at risk by not taking care in the sun, a charity has said. Issue date: Friday August 31, 2012. Cancer Research UK said that 35\% of 16 to 24-year-olds use sunbeds, tanning oils and do not apply suncream properly. A survey of around 2,000 adults found that more than a quarter of young people would spend at least an hour in strong sun without protecting their skin. Just 20\% only apply sunscreen when they start to get burnt or their skin starts to feel sore. See PA story HEALTH Skin. Photo credit should read: Anthony Devlin/PA Wire URN:14417145
