Beard Season 2024

#MelanomaAwarenessMonth may be over, but the fight against skin cancer continues. Today marks the first week of Beard Season, coinciding with #WorldBicycleDay. To kick things off, here’s a throwback to Trent Renshaw on this day in 2018, #cycling with a #beard as an ‘in your face’ reminder to #GetASkinCheck.

In Australia, blokes are twice as likely to die from skin cancer as women. That’s why we’re donating 10% of every bloke massage between 1st June and 31st August to Skin Check Champions. 🌞🧴🔎🏁

Studies show that non-dermatologist professionals, such as barbers and massage therapists, identify about 10-15% of suspicious lesions. Their regular interactions with clients provide crucial opportunities for early skin cancer detection and referrals to dermatologists for further evaluation.

Do yourself a favour — #GetAMassage and help raise funds and awareness to save Aussies from skin cancer.
