Woman who fell asleep in sun for 30 minutes wakes up with face like plastic

A beautician who fell asleep in the sun for 30 minutes was horrified when her forehead skin was left looking like plastic before peeling completely. Sirin Murad, 25, was on holiday in Sunny Beach, Bulgaria, with her family last month when she fell asleep outside in the 21°C sunshine, with no sunscreen on.

Sirin woke up from her 30-minute nap by the pool with a slightly sore, red face, but didn’t think much of it and continued relaxing during her time off. The next day, however, was a completely different story - her red face was now extremely sore.

Her skin was so tight that when she furrowed her eyebrows it looked like plastic. After discussing the matter with her family, Sirin decided to not to seek any medical attention as she didn’t think it would get any worse.
