I don't buy it every month because of the price and really depending on what's in it. However this month I've decided that I won't be buying it ever again. There is an article in it about how to tan 'safely' it's completely idiotic, I have a friend with stage 2 skin cancer at 28 because of 'safe' tanning and buying into the tanned look being healthy. Bloody ironic considering she is now having radiotherapy. <br><br>Then later in the magazine is another article about dealing with sun damage and your skin FFS! So that's me lost, I'd rather read blogs and other online magazines now. I don't mind Red and I'd like to point out they never airbrushed me when I was in it (the bastards!)
