Hi,

I remember being told to keep my neck out of the sun last year due to radiotherapy - does anyone know whether this was just during treatment or forever? I am off to Albania soon and don't know whether I should be totally covering up.

Love Chloex

the skin is damaged, never as good again as before, so take precautions always

Hi,

I was talking to a head and neck cancer nurse yesterday and I asked about being out in the sun and traveling in hot countries.

Hat and factor 50!

Enjoy your travels.

regards
