You may consider taking along your husband as your 'friend'. Many men think they are not susceptible, when in reality, they are somewhat more likely to develop skin cancer than women. Especially on their facial areas. This is due to not using an SPF while working outdoors or golfing and gardening. Some men do not want to take that extra step of applying an SPF.
Women are fortunate that most of our makeup now comes with an added SPF of at least 15.
