HAYLEY BARLOW has visited tanning parlours for the past four years and, at one stage, was using sunbeds five times a week.
The 15-year-old was dubbed a "tanorexic" and warned by doctors that she was likely to develop skin cancer by the time she reached 30.
Experts analysed her skin and found it was so badly damaged that it was more like that of a 25-year-old than a young teenager.
She has tried to give up visiting tanning salons but still goes at least three times a month.
Hayley said: "All the girls you see in magazines are tanned and lots of my friends use sunbeds as well. "But I'd like to warn other teenagers not to use them."
