It’s about time the word get out to our young people. I’m 36yo, and used tanning beds all through highschool & college. 3yrs ago I had to have micrographic surgery on my face to remove 2 basil cell carcinomas, which left very noticeable scars. I have to go get checked now every 6 months for new lesions. Please stay away from tanning beds, they need to be banned or put out of business!!
Thanks for the very informative video.
