CRUK | SunSmart | Justine's story
- 12 years ago
Justine from Liverpool was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, the most serious form of skin cancer, at the age of 36.
She started using sunbeds when she was 15 and used them to keep her tan up in between holidays, until she was diagnosed with skin cancer.
The more you use a sunbed the greater your risk of skin cancer. Using a sunbed once a month or more, can increase your risk of skin cancer by more than half. So when the tan fades, the damage remains.
Watch Justine's video, hear her story and learn why spotting skin cancer early is important.
