Hidden Cost of Sun Protection: Skin Cancer Survivor Jessica Zbinden-Webster on #AxeingtheSPFTax

Skin cancer is the UK’s most common form of cancer. Yet, it’s up to 90% preventable… so, as rates continue to rise, why is SPF subject to a ‘luxury tax’ in the UK? Why are people being priced out of products that could potentially save their life?  Dr Emma Craythorne is joined by Jessica Zbinden-Webster, #AXEtheSPFtax campaigner and skin cancer survivor, to discuss her cancer story and how it has inspired her to fight for tax free SPF in the UK.  Emma and Jessica discuss the science of skin cancer, what happens to your skin, and exactly how Jessica’s treatment, Mohs surgery, worked to remove her cancer. Also, they discuss how Jessica’s experience has changed her skincare routine for the better and how her experience has motivated her to campaign, educate, and call for change.
