825: The Trouble with Tanning Beds

Hi beauties! On this week's Five Minute Friday, I talk to you about tanning beds and the risk that comes with them!

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!
