According to research due to be released at the British Association of Dermatologists annual conference in Glasgow next month, men are twice as likely as women to not protect their skin in the sun, despite more men dying from melanoma than women.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). Men (14% vs. 7% women), unmarried people (13% vs. 8%), those with no children (11% vs. 9%) and those in their teens and early twenties (12%) are among the worst offenders.Most people surveyed (70%) use sunscreen as their primary method of sun protection, despite warnings from dermatologists that shade and clothing should be the first line of defence against sun damage, with sunscreen offering additional protection.Of respondents who use sunscreen, almost one in three (30%) use a low protection sunscreen of below SPF 15. This is an improvement from 57% in the same survey carried out in 2000 but is still concerning as the British Association of Dermatologists recommends that people use a high protection sunscreen of at least SPF 30.Only a quarter of respondents (24%) protect their skin by seeking shade during the middle of the day, with a similar number (23%) covering up in the sun. Worryingly both methods are less popular in 2008 than they were in 2000.Those most likely to protect their skin with clothing and shade fell into the 45 to 64 year and over-65 age groups. Women are more likely to use shade than men (29% vs. 18%), as are married people compared to unmarried people (26% vs. 19%), and those with children compared to those with no children (25% vs. 23%).Sunscreen use is greatest among those aged 25 to 44 (77%), women (76% vs. 63%), married people (75% vs. 67%) and people with children (76% vs. 65%). Interestingly, although men are less likely to use sunscreen than women, those that do are more likely to use a SPF of 15 or over (73% vs. 68%).Dr Rhonda Boyle, Dermatologist at Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast, and one of the studys authors, said: Unfortunately the results of this survey demonstrate that, despite public health campaigns, the use of sun protection and attitudes to sun safety in Northern Ireland remain concerning.Nina Goad of the British Association of Dermatologists said: Sunscreen seems to be the preferred way of protecting the skin, but it seems that many people may be forgetting to cover up and seek shade in the sun.It is worrying that people in their teens and early twenties are the least likely of any age group to protect their skin in the sun. This may be due to the prevailing fashion for tanned skin, but I would have hoped that young people would be more likely to use self tan products to get a bronzed look, rather than risking skin cancer. It may be that as people get older and start to see the visible sun damage on their skin, including wrinkles, they then take steps to protect themselves.It is really interesting that unmarried people and those without children take the least care in the sun it would be worth examining what the obstacles are for these people, and perhaps we need to look at tailoring our prevention campaigns for specific audiences in the future.The incidence of malignant melanoma in Northern Ireland (NI) has increased more than three fold since the 1970′s with an almost parallel rise in melanoma-related deaths.Summary of resultsAge Those aged below 25 are more likely than other age groups to use no sun protection at all (12% of this age group) Sunscreen use is highest in the 25 to 44 year age group (77%) Use of clothing and shade to protect skin is highest in those aged 45 and over.Sex Women are more likely than men to use sunscreen (76% vs. 63%) and to protect the skin with shade (29% vs. 18%). Men are twice as likely as women to use no sun protection at all (14% vs. 7%) Although fewer men than women use sunscreen, those that do are more likely to use a SPF of 15 or over (73% vs. 68%).Marital status and childrenMarried people are more likely than unmarried people to heed sun safety advice, as are people with children compared to those with no children: Those who are unmarried are more likely than married people to use no sun protection (clothing, shade or sunscreen) at all (13% vs. 8%) People with no children are more likely to not use any sun protection (clothing, shade or sunscreen) than those with children (11% vs. 9%) Married people are more likely to use sunscreen than unmarried people (75% vs. 67%), as are subjects with children compared to those with no children (76% vs. 65%).Choice of sun protection 70% use sunscreen as their primary method of sun protection. Of those who use sunscreen only 70% use a SPF of 15 or over. Only a quarter of respondents (24%) protect their skin by seeking shade during the middle of the day, with a similar number (23%) covering up in the sun. Notably one in ten people (10%) take no protective measures at all against sun exposureFacts about skin cancer There are three main types of skin cancer: malignant melanoma the deadliest but least common, squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). BCC and SCC are collectively known as non-melanoma skin cancer. BCC is the most common skin cancer. In the UK, more than 100,000 new cases of skin cancer are diagnosed annually, making it the most common cancer. Of these, more than 10,000 are melanoma. There are over 2,300 deaths from skin cancer annually in the UK. The annual incidence of melanoma worldwide is increasing faster than that of any other cancer. In just 30 years, cases of melanoma across Great Britain have quadrupled in men and tripled in women. Melanoma is more common in women than men, but there is a faster rate of increase in men and more men die from the disease, possibly due to late detection. In as many as 4 out of 5 cases, skin cancer is preventable, so follow the British Association of Dermatologists sun safety tips:You don’t have to avoid the sun all year, and some sunshine can be good for you as it helps the body to produce vitamin D, but taking a few steps when out and about in the summer sun or when on a sunshine holiday will help to protect you from sunburn and the risk of skin cancer, particularly if you are pale skinned. Protect the skin with clothing, including a hat, T shirt and UV protective sunglasses Spend time in the shade between 11am and 3pm when its sunny Use a sunscreen of at least SPF 30 (SPF 50 for children or people with pale skin) which also has high UVA protection Keep babies and young children out of direct sunlight The British Association of Dermatologists recommends that you tell your doctor about any changes to a mole if your GP is concerned about your skin, make sure you see a Consultant Dermatologist (on the GMC register of specialists), the most expert person to diagnose a skin cancer. Your GP can refer you via the NHS.Sunscreens should not be used as an alternative to clothing and shade, rather they offer additional protection. No sunscreen will provide 100% protection.

Flexitol Heel Balm is the UKs top-selling heel balm turning dry, cracked heels from crusty to classy in as little as a fortnight. And pharmacists from all over the UK recently voted it one of the Most Valuable Products they stock.Steve McGowan, national sales and marketing manager for M&A Pharmachem, which distributes the Australian-made heel balm in the UK, said: We are all delighted with this MPV award, which underlines the effectiveness of Flexitol Heel Balm. The Health & Wellbeing category was a diverse one and we won against strong opposition from some very well-known and respected brands. Flexitol Heel Balm is a truly remarkable product. It will start to show results in just three days and in a fortnight, heels can look smooth and fresh again. The treatment is medically proven and can be used just as easily by fashionistas wanting their feet to look fabulous in sandals as by diabetes sufferers who are prone to serious cracks in their heels which can become infected.When we exhibited at the Vitality Show earlier this year we met countless customers who were keen to tell us how effective Flexitol Heel Balm is and why they make sure they never run out. Flexitol Heel Balm contains 25% chemically synthesized urea in a concentrated emollient base. Urea is found naturally in healthy skin and increases water uptake in the outermost layer of skin the stratum corneum. You simply apply it to the heels twice a day and if you have very severe problems, when you apply the balm before going to bed, cover with clear food wrap and put socks over this to increase the effect overnight.Flexitol Heel Balm is available from pharmacies, including Boots stores, and Superdrug nationwide. It retails at a recommended 5.49 for 56g and is also available on prescription.

Pure and Gentle SkinCare launched in 2007 initially to bring together a specialist range of skincare products for people with specific skin problems. They found many ranges suitable for people with conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and acne, but along the way we discovered an array of skin, hair and personal care products suitable for every one, irrespective of skin type. This is because they contained many natural ingredients as well as being free from known skin irritants and toxins – something more and more people are looking for and expecting from their skincare products today. Yet surprisingly these products were not readily available on the High Street.As a result of their research, they have gradually added, and are continuing to add, the products they have discovered on their web site. Not surprisingly they are attracting large numbers of new visitors who are keen to purchase their natural and free from ranges. Up to 60% of what they put on our skin may be absorbed, so many of their products are free from petrochemicals, preservatives, synthetic fragrances etc. And they are constantly looking for more and more new and exciting products to add to the site.Determined to fulfil their customers’ needs, they came up with the idea of Pure and Gentle SkinCare @ Home in 2009, a party plan based business where Consultants can take their products into the homes of their friends and family to sample and if you have a skin problem this is a something you cant usually do.

A highly versatile treatment, Colour Therapy can be incorporated into any treatment from dermbrasion to a massage.ChromaSolo is included in the Carlton Professional range of equipment which offers quality, value for money and durability, all from a brand which places trust and caring for its customers at its heart.The ChromaSolo is priced at 395 + VAT.

The infamous diet craze of the 80s is falling back into favour with slimming Brits. Like Kola Kubes, Knight Rider and Kajagoogoo, meal replacement diets are suddenly palatable again. Leading the way with many naturally-sourced ingredients and 100% of your recommended daily nutrients, is Exante Diet.Meal replacement diets have sometimes had a lot of bad press, says Jackie Delahunty, co-founder of ExanteDiet.com. But things have changed and Exante has revitalised the industry. Exante products are nutritionally complete and can be used in conjunction with other foods. Exante products are an extremely cost-effective way of dieting. A weeks pack of soups, shakes and bars costs just 36.75 which is basically just over a fiver a day.In comparison, a weeks supply of LighterLife costs 66 and the Cambridge Diet varies depending on consultant. Exante Diet recommends combining their best-tasting soups, shakes and bars with at least 20 minutes of exercise a day.They are suitable for vegetarians and are the only meal replacement diets which contain no harmful additives such as Aspartame, Trans Fats, Artificial Colours, Preservatives, MSG, Gluten or GM products.Exante dieters can combine three products with a nice chicken salad for example, says Delahunty. We find people lose more weight when they are still allowed to enjoy a healthy evening meal with the family.Another way Exante has revolutionised the meal replacement diet is through its availability. In the 21st Century people want to be able to get what they want, when they want, says Delahunty. If someone decides to go on the Exante Diet they can place their order before 1pm and receive the pack the following morning.

Unwanted hair is a problem for many men and women and the distress it can cause is vastly underestimated. More people have hair permanently removed by electrolysis than you can probably imagine.Electrolysis is the only medically approved method of permanent hair removal (approved by the British Medical Association). Electrolysis involves the insertion of a very fine probe (the same diameter as the hair) into the hair follicle. The insertion of this probe is not felt as the hair follicle is a natural opening in the skin – the probe is passed into the follicle and therefore does not pierce the skin. Heat, or a combination of heat and a tiny amount of galvanic current is then passed through the probe to seal off the blood supply to the hair at the root. The hair is then removed. Most hairs will need more than one treatment, but there will be a constant, gradual decrease in the growth of the hair until it has all been permanently removed.The amount of treatment required to achieve permanent removal of all the hair differs with each person, so most clinics offer a consultation free of charge and without obligation to have any treatment – just a chance to have electrolysis explained in detail.Will it hurt?Most people describe electrolysis as uncomfortable rather than painful. We feel it is best described as a sensation similar to tweezing a hair and hot at the same time. The area treated will feel quite warm for a short time after treatment.Is it safe?Yes, completely safe, and is approved by the medical profession. You should confirm:-(a) That your electrolysist uses sterile disposable probes, which are recommended by the Public Health Laboratory Service. You should have a brand new probe for each treatment.(b) That your electrolysist is a registered member of: The British Institute & Association of Electrolysis [B.I.A.E.]. – dont be afraid to ask to see certificates.How much does it cost?Prices range from approximately 18 – 25 for a 15 minute appointment, with an hour costing between 50 – 70. In the early stages frequency of treatment varies greatly with the individual and could be anything from 2-3 times per week to once every 8 weeks. At your consultation your electrolysist will be able to advise you on this.Why shouldn’t I use another method of hair removal?Nothing else is permanent – electrolysis is the only method of permanent hair removal. Other methods advertise as permanent, but the best they can do is reduce a hair growth – this includes laser. Some methods actually increase the growth over a period time. Companies which advertise permanent removal (but not by electrolysis) are gradually being identified by the Advertising Standards Authority and stopped from advertising permanency.Exploding some myths1. During electrolysis the client does not receive an ‘injection’ – the probe passes into the hair follicle which is a natural opening in the skin so you dont even feel it.2. There is no risk of scarring if the treatment is carried out correctly by a professionally qualified electrolysist.3. No hair growth is too extensive or too strong to be successfully treated by electrolysis.
