While the 2022 World Cup may be taking place during UK winter, fans travelling to Qatar will have to contend with high temperatures and lots of sunshine, meaning sunscreen is a must.
Having survived skin cancer, former England footballer Paul Merson never skips sunblock nowadays, but that wasn’t the case when he was still playing professionally.
“I would never put cream on,” says Merson, who played for Arsenal for 11 years and earned 21 caps for England in the 90s. “I was a sun worshipper – I’m not going to lie. We have this thing of like, you get suntanned, you just feel better about yourself, and I was one of those people.”
