One in ten UK men have never used sunscreen, according to a survey.
Reasons cited included finding the application ‘boring’ and thinking that the sun was not strong enough to cause harm.
Despite this, 80 per cent of the 2,000 people who were polled were aware that sunburn increases the risk of cancer.
Research commissioned by Nivea and Cancer Research UK shows that almost nine in ten cases of melanoma skin cancer could be prevented simply by wearing sunscreen.
Those who get sunburnt once every two years are three times more likely to develop melanoma.
The neck is the most common area of the body for men to get burnt, followed by the scalp and the back.
