The Science of a Sun Tan: Is It Ever Safe? Q&A with Skin Cancer Survivor Jessica Zbinden-Webster

Can a tan ever be safe? Is bronzed just as bad as burnt? In this episode of After Hours Skin Clinic Jessica Zbinden-Webster, skin cancer survivor and #AXEtheSPFtax campaigner, joins Dr Emma Craythorne for a Q&A. Jessica asks Emma questions like ‘is a ‘healthy tan’ really possible?’ and ‘what is the craziest sunscreen myth that you’ve seen on social media’? They discuss the different types of melanin and how it acts when exposed to UV rays, as well as how many skin cancers Emma sees in her clinic and what are the most common causes.  If you want to sign the #AXEtheSPFtax (Go on, just do it!) then follow this link: https://chng.it/VHfLNhGCVp Have any questions?
