Men with receding hairlines, bald patches, or those simply thinning on top, are particularly at risk for getting sun-related cancers on exposed skin. ScalpBloc is a non-perfumed, non-greasy and waterproof formula that protects against the sun. It forms an invisible bond with the skin and doesn’t mess up the hair. ScalpBloc is also useful for women with wide parting in their hair, and children who won't wear a hat. BodyBloc follows the same dermatologically tested formulation as ScalpBloc and extends the same unique benefits to the protection of the whole body. One daily application gives head to toe protection for the whole day, while still allowing the skin to tan. Remember however, that for babies and young children, their exposure to the sun for any length of time during the middle of the day should be avoided, whatever the sunscreen you use. ScalpBloc costs £9.95 and BodyBloc £12.95 (150ml bottle).
They are available by mail order from Lifes2good

In the many quests for ever stronger and more effective deodorants, stronger and more powerful chemicals are being used. Some of these chemicals have now been linked to health problems (see our article on deodorants). Green People's range of four roll-on deodorants use Zinc ricinoleate, the zinc salt of an acid extracted from the seeds of the castor oil plant, together with a solution of Ammonium alum, an abundant earth mineral. Using bases of organic floral waters such as Rosemary, Lavender and Peppermint, these are available in ranges for both men and women. Used together with good basic hygiene, all of these offer safe, natural control of body odours without suppressing the vital function of perspiration. These deodorants cost £6.49 for 75ml. For more information
about this range, visit the Green
People website.
For those women for whom this is regularly a sore point, natural plant hormones isoflavones can help to relieve the pain of monthly breast pain (mastalgia), according to the results of a new double-blind randomised controlled trial. Western diets are typically low in isoflavones - an average intake
of less than 1mg/day compared to 35mg or more in Eastern populations
- but it's easy to boost your intake with an isoflavone supplement,
such as Aria. Aria costs £12.99 for 30 One-A-Day tablets. For further information,
call Lichtwer's Customer Care Line on (01803) 528668.
