Hugh Jackman has taken to social media to share news of his recent medical procedure and a simple but very important message- “WEAR SUNSCREEN!”

On May 8^th, Jackman shared a photo of his bandaged nose on Twitter and Instagram and revealed that he had just undergone surgery to remove his second basal cell carcinoma, a common type of skin cancer. He tweeted thanks to his doctors and the all-caps hashtag of #SUNSCREEN.

Huge thanks to Dr. Arian and Dr. Born for operating on my nose until 10:20pm! #SUNSCREEN

The X-Men: Days of Future Past star received treatment for his first bout with the cancer in November of 2013 after his wife told him to get the suspicious mark on his nose checked by a doctor.

So be like Wolverine, kids, check yourself regularly to spot any signs of skin cancer and always wear sunscreen. Just make sure to retract your Adamantium claws before applying.
