☀️Skin Cancer Survivor Spotlight: Shonna Dexter
May is Skin Cancer Awareness Month, and today is known as Melanoma Monday — intended to spotlight this often neglected and deadliest form of skin cancer.
Shonna Dexter, owner of Kansas City sunless tanning studio , was 34 when she was first diagnosed with two basal cell carcinomas and an early-stage melanoma. 😮
She had spent many years in tanning beds in an effort to get a ‘base tan.’ In fact, research shows that any tanning bed use before the age of 35 increases your risk of melanoma by 59%
As a skin cancer survivor, Shonna’s passion is now to provide women with the only safe tan — a sunless one. She’s vigilant about sun protection and regularly sees her dermatologist to monitor her skin.
If you’ve seen some sun and now have a few spots of concern, we don’t judge! The earlier skin cancer is diagnosed and treated, the better your outcome.
