Pop singer Sandi Thom has teamed up with Cancer Research UK to create awareness about the risks of using sunbeds.
The computer-generated images show the 27-year-old singer with deep-set wrinkles, drooping eyelids, under-eye bags, and sagging and discoloured skin, thus warning youngsters of the dangers of sunbed.One set of images shows how the fresh-faced Thom would look at 57 as a result of natural age progression, while the second set shows her at the same age after decades of over-exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays - resulting in 70 per cent more wrinkles.
According to the charity using a sunbed before the age of 35 increases the risk of skin cancer by 75 per cent.
Thom, who was herself a regular sunbed user is shocked to see the images.
"I’m in a state of shock and the thought of looking like this at 57 is terrifying. Having seen these images I can honestly say I am never going to use a sunbed again," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
"You can so easily get brown from a bottle these days, there is just no point in ruining your looks and risking skin cancer by using sunbeds.
