A WOMAN who ‘didn’t believe the UV rating in Turkey’, so skipped applying SPF, has revealed her painful sunburn.
Jade Jerry Jackson went on holiday, but because it rained all week and was cloudy, she didn’t think she needed to apply any suncream.
Taking to her TikTok page, ‘jadejerryjackson’, the holidaymaker shared a ‘painful’-looking video of her burns, which has gained 285k views in just one day.
The video showed Jade standing in front of her camera after taking a shower, displaying her red raw skin.
Clearly in pain, Jade, 30, pressed her skin with her finger to show the difference when pressure was applied and how quickly it returned to being red.
In another video, Jade explained that she has “never ever experienced sunburn like this”; in her life and expressed her shock, as there was “no sun”;.
She also described how her skin felt like it was “on fire”; and compared it to “third-degree burns”;.
The NHS urges people to wear suncream and not to rely on it alone.
According to their website, sunburn increases your risk of and doesn’t just happen on holiday.
They also state that you can burn in the UK, even when it’s cloudy.
The NHS recommends applying around six to eight teaspoons of suncream if you’re covering your entire body.
If applied too thinly, the protection will be reduced, and it’s best to apply it 30 minutes before going outside.
Jade’s original video stated: “It rained all week and was cloudy as hell in so you didn’t believe the UV7 rating and skipped the suncreams.”;
Her video attracted 243 comments, with many rushing to share their thoughts.
Some didn’t have sympathy for her. One person wrote: “Sympathy none silly not wearing sunscreen.”;
Another added: “Btw (by the way) a ‘tan’ is the result of damaged skin. It’s not a good thing.”;
Meanwhile, a third commented: “Very, very silly...”;
Someone else said: “That’s ridiculous. Ever heard of skin cancer? SPF needs to be applied even on cloudy days.”;
One commenter shared their own experience: “The same thing happened to me in 25 years ago. Never forget it.
“Spent the evening looking for a restaurant that had cushions on the seats.”;
Whilst someone else simply explained how they can “feel the heat through the screen.”;
