Thumbs up

One more timely hint:-

When you do find something that's "not quite right" on your skin, get it looked at quick! The backs of my hands are going under the nitrogen-gun tomorrow morning for removal of some solar keratoses. I'm lucky, my hands are the only places I have these problems - so far.

My father (WW2 navigator in Wellingtons and Liberators) has multiple keratoses burnt off his nose every 6 months or so. Hundreds of hours under perspex in the western desert have taken their toll.

Long trousers, long sleeves, hats, sunglasses and drive/fly wearing golf gloves if at all possible. Maximise your protection now and help put the skin specialists out of business!
