I couldn’t resist passing on this potentially life saving skin care tip: According to ScienceDaily, new research shows that couples who examine each other’s skin on a regular basis could lower their risk of dying from malignant melanoma by almost 60%!
Aside from being a good reason to get naked, this makes good medical sense because when it comes to melanoma, an early diagnosis can dramatically improve your chance of survival. In the US, this disease causes 8,000 deaths a year and recently one of my favorite musicians, Danny Federici, (the key board player for Bruce Springsteen’s E Street Band), passed away from melanoma. And an estimated 62,000 new cases of melanoma are diagnosed each year!
The key finding of this study was that you shouldn’t let embarrassment about your body stop you from letting your lover check you out. (The study cites one woman who said she wouldn’t get naked because she didn’t want her husband to see her “cellulite and fat rolls.” That’s bad mojo, gals!) The study shows that couples who are comfortable with each other’s nakedness are 3 times more likely to perform mutual skin checks.
Plus, this isn’t all about all icky medical stuff – the skin exams have unexpected benefit because they may actually rev up your intimate relationship. If you want to learn more, check out the original article at ScienceDaily.
