Have You a Beauty Problem?

Woman's Weekly / 11th July 1969

The old-fashioned phrasing here amuses me, but what is most significant is the explanation of what is a standard item nowadays; sun protection cream. As a very fair-skinned person, I’m amazed the writer managed to get a tan at all! My parents certainly didn’t use sun cream, and it wasn’t until I was burned quite badly in the sun when aged 3 that they realised it was something I needed. The erosion of the ozone layer has caused stronger sun rays, of course, but I suspect greater leisure time and foreign travel has made sun cream so important for my generation.
