Men, Young and Unmarried Ignore Skin Cancer Warnings

Men are twice as likely as women to not protect their skin in the sun, despite more men dying from melanoma than women, according to research due to be released at the British Association of Dermatologists' annual conference in Glasgow next month.

The shocking survey of 1213 adults formed part of the Northern Ireland Omnibus Survey published in September 2008, a regular survey of the lifestyle and views of the people of Northern Ireland.

It also found that people in their teens and early twenties are less likely than any other age group to use sun protection, despite increasing numbers of melanoma being diagnosed in this age group.

One in ten people surveyed (10%) take no protective measures at all against sun exposure (compared to 8% in 2000).

Malignant Melanoma on the Increase!

Official figures show that twice as many people as 20 years ago are affected by skin cancer. According to an article in the Daily Mail yesterday, skin cancer is on the increase, particularly malignant melanoma. The research puts the increase down to cheap foreign holidays, sunbeds and a reluctance to wear sunscreen. Deaths of skin cancer have almost doubled in the period 2004-2006!

At Pure and Gentle SkinCare we offer a range of sunscreens that carry a high factor and are suitable for all skin types and all ages. Many are also suitable for people with allergic and sensitive skin. Take a look - http://www.pureandgentleskincare.com/ebuttonz/suncare/index.htm

A Burning Issue

Summer is coming and it is generally accepted that some sun is good for us all. But staying safe in the sun and ensuring you are adequately protected from harmful UV rays is more important than ever as skin cancer rates increase.

It's vital to use a good quality SPF sun screen and apply it in large enough quantities to provide the right protection.

Did you know that sunscreen labelling changed in the UK in 2008? SPFs will now be categorised as providing low to very high protection, to make the SPF guide easier to understand. For more information about the new labelling visit http://www.pureandgentleskincare.com/articles/sun_safety.htm

Bearing in mind this new labelling, we've put together a range of good quality sunscreens and after sun products. For more information visit http://www.pureandgentleskincare.com/ebuttonz/suncare/index.htm

Stay safe in the sun this year!
