Title: Heat

Heat magazine and a band of loyal readers have visited the Houses of Parliament in London to voice their support for a bill banning the use of sunbeds by under-18s.

The publication has launched the Dazzle, Don't Frazzle campaign in an effort to help cut cancer rates among youngsters in the UK.

A third reading of the proposed law will be made in parliament this week and heat has teamed up with the Teenage Cancer Trust to raise the profile of the issue.

The body is keen to ensure a large enough number of MPs vote on the subject and recruited readers to turn up in bikinis with artificially sunburnt faces to draw attention to the problem.

Fortunately, the move was a success, with the girls appearing on Sky News and a number of photographers snapping the group in Westminster.

The magazine spoke to Girls Aloud singer Nicola Roberts earlier this year about the issue, with the star admitting that she had damaged her pale skin by using a sunbed in the past.
