She worked in the sun for 40 years. This is what her skin looks like today. “oh my god”

Doctor Aleksandra Brown, who is a dermatologist, shared a shocking video on her TikTok profile. She presented a patient who had been working outdoors for 40 years without proper sun protection. The recording showing the appearance of her skin shocked Internet users.

The rays of the sun, although they help in the synthesis of vitamin D and change the color of the skin, creating the so-called tan, also carry many negative side effects. This increases the risk of skin cancer, has a destructive effect on the skin, causing sunburn and contributes to faster skin aging. In one of the recordings on TikTik, we can see how much the sun affects our appearance and the lack of protection against it, e.g. with an SPF filter.

What effect does the sun have on the skin? A dermatologist showed a shocking video of a patient

Dr. Aleksandra Brown, co-owner of River Ridge Dermatology in Virginia, went viral on TikTok after she posted a video of an anonymous woman sitting on an examination table in a hospital gown. On the recording you can see what a woman in her 40s suffered a career spent working outdoors without the right sunscreen and protective clothing. The patient’s arms were heavily tanned with brown spots from years of chronic exposure. This is in sharp contrast to her pale legs, which “have never seen the sun” as they were always covered by long pants.

She worked in the sun for 40 years, but she always wore pants. Next time you see a dermatologist smearing on sunscreen and wearing SPF, know that it’s because he sees this kind of thing every day.

The video sparked a discussion in the comments. The observers are stunned

Since the release of the eye-opening video about sun damage, it has garnered a lot of reactions. It has been viewed over 6.4 million times and commented over 1,400 times.

It opens your eyes. Sometimes I’m glad I don’t go outside at all.

This is a great comparison video that shows what sun damage can look like.

That’s why you wear sunscreen… Oh my God.

My dad is a farmer, so he spends all day outside. His arms are very tanned, but when he puts on shorts, the difference between the skin on his legs and arms is huge.
