“America has been slow in building public awareness about the dangers of tanning and the sun full stop, but let’s not walk on eggshells around the issue anymore.”
, Refinery29’s global call to action to wake up to the serious dangers of tanning. No lectures or shaming, we promise. Instead, our goal is to arm you with the facts you need to protect your skin to the best of your ability, because there’s no such thing as safe sun.
When I first went public with it, I was both taken aback and encouraged by the show of support, not to mention just how many people were willing to share theirto advocate for skin cancer awareness, but there’s still a long way to go. That’s why I’m excited to announce that I’m officially joining Refinery29’s Sun Blocked initiative: a global call to action to wake up to the serious dangers of tanning.
As a mom of a 15-year-old daughter and a 10-year-old son, I know how especially sensitive young people are to themultiple times under the age of 18. In fact, I would consider tanning beds to be a contributing factor that led to myat a young age has been associated with a higher risk of melanoma. Despite the misinformation surrounding tanning beds, there’s no question about it: Melanoma is deadly.
In my hotel room, I have an extensive, full-on arsenal of sunscreen. You can never have enough! Any time we’re going into hair and makeup for a touchup, I’m applying more SPF so I’m staying protected. Fortunately,is a show about being on vacation, so there are lots of reasons for wearing a hat and sunglasses, too. My character also wears fake tan and I’ve realized that there are so many great options nowadays that will give you an amazing natural color.
All in all, there is no such thing as a safe UV tan, whether you’re on a tanning bed or under the sun. Since advocating for skin cancer awareness and centering sun safety alongside Refinery29 and the Skin Cancer Foundation, I’ve found that more and more people are heeding the message. America has been slow in building public awareness about the dangers of tanning and the sun full stop, but let’s not walk on eggshells around the issue anymore.
