Make-Up Artist Who Always Wore Sunscreen Is Diagnosed With Melanoma - Because She Missed A Tiny Patch Under Her Eye


Jo-anne Jewett, 57, of Parwich, Derbyshire, discovered she had the most deadly form of the disease after spending a year in Corfu.

While sunbathing she always covered her face in high factor sun block, but only only wore skin cream around her eyes, believing it would protect her. 

Dangerous UV rays from the sun had managed to penetrate her glasses through to a small patch skin around her eye, which was unprotected. Back in the UK, she was stunned to be diagnosed with melanoma (inset and right, after treatment), and now wants to share her story to warn others to be safe in the sun.
