1.- GET ACQUAINTED
WITH YOUR SKIN
You’re likely indisposed from at least the
waist down, so take the time to get up
close and personal with your body.
Melanoma is the third most common
cancer in Australia, and regular check-
ins with your skin for visible abnormalities
can save your life. “Check your entire
body using a full-length and a hand-held
mirror and remember, skin cancers can
occur on parts of your body never
exposed to the sun,” advises Lisa
Patulny, founder of sun safety initiative

BUT WHAT TO DO WHILE
GIVING YOUR TUSH TLC? SET
A 10-MINUTE TIMER AND...Call Time On Melanoma. “Use the
ABCDE melanoma detection guide
available on the Cancer Council’s
website.” Even better, book a recurring
skin check appointment with your local
GP to monitor suspicious changes to
moles. Visit calltimeonmelanoma.com.au
to find out more.- RECYCLE YOUR USED
BEAUTY PRODUCTS
Plastic continues to be a prevalent part
of the beauty industry (turn to page
for deets) but we can all do our part
an eco-friendly future. Check your loc
council’s website to find out what can
and can’t be recycled in your area, then
get sorting. Remember to check the
labels of each product, rinse out the
containers and separate any potential
multimaterial elements, such as pumps
or droppers, that can’t be recycled. - PRACTISE YOUR PLANK
We’re not suggesting you plank for 10
minutes straight (unless, somehow, you
can) but try doing intervals of one minute
plank, one minute rest for five rounds.
Start on your hands, then come down to
your elbows, then plank each side,
before finishing on your elbows and
adding knee crunches. Done!
