A Woman's Before And After Skin Cancer Photo Is Supposed To Deter Tanning Beds And Holy Fuck BUY ALL THE SUNBLOCK

 

ED – It’s no secret tanning, indoors or out, is the leading cause of skin cancer. Yet come summer, many of us still lounge under the scorching sun for hours, willfully ignoring the potentially deadly repercussions.

Tawny Willoughby was one of those people: a self-confessed sun-worshipper who tanned four to five times per week.

But at 21, she was diagnosed with skin cancer for the first time. That was six years ago.

Since then, she’s been diagnosed with basal cell carcinoma on five different occasions and squamous cell carcinoma once.

Recently, Willoughby took to Facebook to post a graphic photo of what skin cancer really looks like, in the hopes of deterring others from making the same mistakes she did. In the photo, the 27-year-old’s face is covered with bloody, oozing scabs and patches of raw skin; it is not pretty.

Willoughby, who now has a 2-year-old son, wrote that today she visits the dermatologist every six to 12 months “and usually has skin cancer removed at each checkup.”

 

I’m gonna give you some room because the after picture is pretty graphic and, obviously she’s got a reason for posting it and we should too, but you might want to click away if you’re squeamish.

Aaaand there it is. Just a brutal look at a serious illness that can easily be avoided with some sun block or a little less vanity. Now that it’s getting a little warmer out, it’s probably not the worst idea to heed Tawny Willoughby’s warning. I mean hell, even in a best case scenario, you could end up looking like this chick too:

 

 

Do you want your dick to look like beef jerky (I’m assuming we all tan dicks out? Agreed.)? No! SPF 40 AT A MINIMUM FUCKHEADS.
