She's wearing sunscreen: But she's only covering a small part of her badly burned back so that she can achieve a design on her back for the new sunburn art craze. It is crazy indeed
Always wear sunscreen.
It's a golden rule that some are breaking this summer for the sake of creating hot to the touch tattoo like art on their skin and posting an image to Instagram along with hashtag #sunburnart.
Dermatologists are firmly warning people to stay away from the trend they say could cause skin cancer.
You better shape up: Giraffes are beautiful in the wild but human being were not born to burn their skin to resemble creatures in the animal kingdom
In order to create the design, people apply sunburn or temporary tattoos to their skin then they let the surrounding area burn until it creates a design.
'This is where popular culture is clashing with medical advice,' said Dr. Barney Kenet, a New York-based dermatologist to ABC News.
'It’s really obvious that sunburn does two things to you: it gives you lines and freckles and wrinkles and it also causes skin cancer especially melanoma,' he added.
Kenet says that the sunburn art trend is even more dangerous than normal sunbathing because people may be tempted to stay in the sun longer in order to get a leaner burn.
Not loving it: This Instagram user is playing with hot scorching my risking the health of their skin to profess love to a friend. Perhaps they should be a pal and rub sunscreen on their mate instead
'Then there’s the motivation for getting a good burn,' he explained.
'The practice is tempting them to burn even worse.'
According to Cancer.org, Melanoma will account for 73,000 cases of skin cancer this year.
Wearing sunscreen can prevent cancer and premature aging and promotes a long healthy life. Why waste it?
Chill out: These intricate sunburn designs may look appealing to some but they are extremely harmful to ones health
