Protect your immune system this summer |
|
 We all know the sun is bad for our skin, but did you know that ultraviolet radiation also has an impact on the body's immune
system? A well-known Australian company, Hamilton Laboratories, has spent years developing its new Hamilton Optimal™ Enhanced Protection Sunscreen which can claim to reduce
some of the effects of UV induced immunosuppression.
Win the Optimal Summer Protection Pack
To ensure you're protected head to toe from the sun this summer, Hamilton Laboratories is offering five Optimal Summer Protection Packs,
valued at over $35 per pack. For your chance to win, email us now with:
- In the subject line - 'Optimal Protection'
- In the email message - Your full name, daytime
phone number, address (including postcode), and the answer to the following question: How many hours water resistance does Optimal™ Sunscreen provide?
Hint: you can find the answer here.
We will randomly select 5 correct emails from those received
by 12pm Friday 15 December, and we'll email/call you by 5pm on the same day to confirm your prize.*
*Please read the full terms and conditions of this competition before
entering. |
