Hot Summer

Text: Bryan Chan

In all popular advertising, movies, videos, promotional materials for gay parties etc. all the boys have a honey-like even tan and a lustrious shine. I know this is beautiful and attractive, and no matter how many times I warn you about sun damage to the skin, most of you boys still run to the beach to deepen your tan! I am not totally against a healthy looking tanned skin colour, I’m just not a big fan of the sun!

This time, I’ll try to make it a short introduction so that I can introduce you to plenty of reputable products to protect your body from the sizzle of the summer sun! But please still remember, too much sun exposure will cause your youthful looks to diminish much faster, especially if unprotected, speeding up the onset of wrinkling, age spots and even skin cancer.

Protection for your eyes is a must when faced with the intense summer sun, so a pair of good sun-glasses are a must have when heading out!
