Man tweets very gross incentive to always wear sun cream

Warning: The tweet below the scroll-line contains some fairly unpleasant close-ups of a man’s sun-burned skin. Proceed with caution.

As soon as the sun comes out in Britain, two things happen: 1) everyone complains about the weather, and 2) everyone forgets to put on sun cream.

When it’s over 32 degrees Celsius, though, the latter can have some very unpleasant results.

On Monday, following a very hot weekend in the UK, a man from Edinburgh, Scotland, began tweeting about his sun burn.

You know the sun burn’s bad when you have to take time off work.

But until @grgbinnie shared the photos of himself, no-one probably realised just how bad.

Brace yourself:

Yep: 2nd degree burns, and some very blistered skin.

If that’s not an incentive to wear sun cream, we don’t know what is.
