Why Christie Brinkley Show Scares to Her Kids to Use Sunscreen
The illustrious supermodel, having faced the harrowing ordeal of skin cancer earlier this annum, unabashedly employs stark warnings to instill the importance of sunscreen in her progeny.
"Learn from my oversight," she admonishes, "My negligence with sunblock resulted in skin cancer, and now I contend with a mosaic of hyperpigmented and hypopigmented patches," the septuagenarian disclosed to Page Six.
"I'll lift my skirt, revealing my mottled thigh, and declare, 'Observe these blemishes! You do not desire this fate!'"
Brinkley, the matriarch of daughter Alexa Ray Joel, 38, with ex-spouse Billy Joel, and daughter Sailor Brinkley-Cook, 25, and son Jack Paris Brinkley-Cook, 29, with ex-husband Peter Cook, has made it her mission to advocate for sun safety.

In March, Brinkley revealed the excision of basal cell carcinoma from her visage, posting images of her post-operative dressings on Instagram.
The diagnosis, she recounted to Today’s Savannah Guthrie and Hoda Kotb, was a bolt from the blue. Accompanying her daughter to a dermatologist, Brinkley seized the moment to request an examination of a troubling spot on her face.
"As the dermatologist scrutinized a few of my daughter’s concerns, I pondered whether to mention the minuscule spot near my temple. 'Should I bring it up? It’s not my appointment,' I mused."
"Just as he was concluding his examination, I interjected, 'Could you possibly inspect this?' He took a glance and immediately insisted, 'We must perform a biopsy at once.'"
The subsequent biopsy confirmed her fears: cancer.

The visage, Verywell Health asserts, is a frequent locus for skin cancer development, often misidentified as benign moles or solar lentigines, underscoring the imperative of medical evaluation for new or evolving spots.
Now, Brinkley ardently advocates for sun protection, extolling the virtues of Supergoop and La Roche-Posay as her sunscreens of choice.
"I cannot overemphasize this: Sunblock and a hat are paramount," she reiterated to Page Six.
In the United States, skin cancer prevails as the most ubiquitous form of cancer, with the American Academy of Dermatology Association reporting nearly 10,000 new diagnoses daily.
The Quran - Chapter Al-Qamar : 18 - 27
’Ȃd ˹also˺ rejected ˹the truth˺. Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!

Indeed, We sent against them a furious wind,1 on a day of unrelenting misery,
that snatched people up, leaving them like trunks of uprooted palm trees.
Then how ˹dreadful˺ were My punishment and warnings!
And We have certainly made the Quran easy to remember. So is there anyone who will be mindful?
Thamûd rejected the warnings ˹as well˺,
arguing, “How can we follow one ˹average˺ human being from among us? We would then truly be misguided and insane.
Has the revelation been sent down ˹only˺ to him out of ˹all of˺ us? In fact, he is a boastful liar.”

˹It was revealed to Ṣâliḥ,˺ “They will soon know who the boastful liar is.
We are sending the she-camel as a test for them. So watch them ˹closely˺, and have patience.
Lexicological Analysis
The word سُعُر su'ur has appeared twice in this Surah. First it has appeared in verse 24 in connection with the people of Thamud where it is their own word, and means 'madness or insanity'.
The second time, the word appears in connection with the punishment of the sinners where it is the word of Allah in the forthcoming verse [ 47] فِي ضَلَالٍ وَسُعُرٍ. Here the word سُعُر su'ur may also be taken in the sense of Hell-Fire. According to lexicologists, the word su'ur is used in both these senses.
رَاوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِ (And they had even tried to tempt him against his guests...54:37). The word murawadah signifies to entice someone to satisfy one's lust. This verse refers to the night when the angels came to Prophet Lut (علیہ السلام) in the shape of handsome young men, as a test from Allah for his people who were addicted to homosexuality.
Prophet Lut (علیہ السلام) hosted his guests. The licentious people came to him from every direction, and the Prophet Lut (علیہ السلام) had to shut the door to protect his guests. They came during the night and tried to break the door down and scale the walls to come in.
The immoral behaviour of his people distressed Prophet Lut (علیہ السلام) but when the guests revealed to him that they were angels and have been sent by Allah to inflict destructive punishment on his people, he felt comforted; they assured him that they will not be able to hurt them in any way.
