    since when??!! I personally don't think it's cool to be as red as a lobster and uncomfortable, or to have melanomas. Ah well, just me then?

    You're 100% right LGBJ - there is absolutely nothing sexy about sun damaged skin. Tan's are sexy but there is nothing worse than looking like a washed up old has-been for the rest of your life.

    My husband had a malignant melanoma on his neck a few years ago - aged only 30 at the time. His consulatant said that it was almost certainly caused by his history of frequent sunburn as a child (he has fair, freckly skin).

    It caused us quite a nasty scare (I was preganant with our first baby too), but thankfully he has finally been given the all clear 5 years later!

    We no longer take any risks in the sun at all and try and stay pale and interesting. He also is advised to wear high factor suncream on his face and neck all year round, so we get through loads.

    I will certainly look into this offer!
  • I have a follow-up moan - MEN'S sunscreen? what makes it so different that it's only for men? Does it have a special attachment for penis application?

    to be fair it probably smells different in the same way that men's deodrant and stuff does.
