## Resource

Hi beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I talk to you about tanning beds and the risk that comes with them! As a facial plastic surgeon, I know a thing or two about the negative effects tanning can have on your skin. More than a million cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed this year and 90 % of those cases can be brought on by sun exposure and tanning beds. With prom season rapidly approaching and many brides getting ready to tie the knot, a "base tan" is more often than not on their checklist. I cover some of the different types of skin cancer, why tanning beds are your skin's worst enemy, and some of the ways you can shield yourself from the sun!
