"I've just come back from Sharm el-Sheikh in Egypt. I was down there at seven in the morning and I'd stay out in the sun until six at night. I love the sun. Every morning I check the weather to see if it's going to be sunny. They said it would get cloudy at 1pm today so I took an early lunch break. I keep these shorts and towels at work so that I've got something to change into and rest my head on."

“I don’t think a tan makes you look more beautiful. It’s about the pleasure of lying in the heat. I always put sunblock on my face, but the sun is pretty mild here. The lower the latitude, the more cautious I am.”

“I always try to come to the park in my lunchbreak. I do like being in the sun – it feels as though it recharges me, puts me in a good mood, and I feel healthier. I don’t care about wrinkles – everyone gets old. They’re a sign that you’ve lived.”

“I feel better with a tan,” says Marco. “In the winter, I go to the salon to have a sunbed. As soon as the sun comes out, I get my top off. I use a high-protection suncream when I’m back in Italy, but I don’t use anything here. There’s never enough sun.” Josiane agrees: “I need the sun. I’m from Brazil!”
