Reality Check: Men Are Twice as Likely as Women to Develop Melanoma
Our mate Jarryd Roughead knows this better than most. After a melanoma was removed from his lip when he was 29, the real battle began a year later when cancer returned and had spread to his lungs.
At the time, Roughy was at the peak of his footy career, had recently married his beautiful wife, Sarah, and was midway through a home renovation. The diagnosis of secondary cancers shook their world.
Fortunately, Roughy had access to top medical care and the opportunity to participate in a clinical trial for a new drug.
Although the treatment was gruelling and had many side effects, it was ultimately successful, and Roughy was able to make a full recovery. Sadly, as we know, not everyone is as lucky.
Roughy never wanted to be the poster boy for skin cancer prevention, but his story serves as a reminder of how important it is to prioritise sun protection and regular skin checks.
This summer, Roughy has teamed up with us to bring you some exciting additions to our high-protection sunscreen range:
A lightweight, non-greasy sunscreen for the face, neck, and ears that is fast-absorbing, smells amazing, and boasts a 99.9% 5-star rating.
Offering SPF50+ protection against UVA and UVB rays, it’s perfect for daily use and whenever you’re outdoors.
Our new 4-hour water-resistant formulation designed for sweaty or wet environments. It features a non-slip matte finish and a carabiner clip for grab-and-go convenience.
Ideal for golf, tennis, swimming, surfing… whatever you’re into. Designed for all-over body use.
Lightweight SPF50+ Face Moisturiser:
Our new daily face moisturiser with built-in sun protection.
Designed for use across all seasons, it offers protection against direct sun (so it can be used in place of sunscreen) and incidental UV exposure (making it an effective moisturiser with the added benefit of SPF50+ protection).
With a barely-there skin feel, it’s got you covered year-round.
Available online, at Woolies, Priceline, and top pharmacies.
